I referee to FIBA rules and we have just started to go 3 person officiating. I need some information on pre-game talks, freeze after foul call situations, etc. that may help in our games. we have a copy of the rules on 3PO from FIBA, but could do with more information. Where can I go for help. i have to conduct a clinic in a few weeks time and any help would be appreciated.

Are the mechanics any different than NCAA or NF?

It is my understanding that FIBA is using CCA Men's Three-person Officiating Manual. You can buy this manual from Honig's at http://www.Honigs.com.

Thanks Mark and dhodges007, not too sure about NCAA or NF, (What does NF stand for?)mechanics or CCA mechanics. I am situated in New Zealand, having only refereed 2 PO according to FIBA rules for some time, and 3PO has only been recently sanctioned by FIBA, so would like to know more about 3PO. any help or links would be gratefully appreciated.

CCA stands for Collegiate Commissioners Association and is the organization that writes the mechanics manuals for the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) which writes the rules for college basketball. NFHS or NF stands for National Federation of State High School Associations, which writes the rules for high school basketabll.

As far as NCAA and NF and MHO (my humble opinion), you don't have to freeze after a "normal" common foul. One person report, the other person go to their spot, and the third should observe the players.

As far as pregame stuff, there isn't any difference except for areas of responsibility.

A couple things that you can talk about though.

L:
- watch for displacement in the post
- rotate quickly and often (better to move too much than not enough
- if you are looking across the key at a play, you should already be rotating

C:
- watch for illegal screens and off ball movement
- be ready and watching for the rotation
- watch for the grabbing and cheap fouls in the key

T:
- watch for traveling down low (post) on your side
- watch above the rim

And as always look for your competetive match-ups.

Hope that helps!

"Freezing" after a foul call does not refer to freezing one's body or position. It refers to locking eyes on the players while your partner reports.

Your feet should be taking you either (a) to your new position; or (b) in between heated players. But in either case, your eyes should freeze on the players while your partner goes to the table.
