in the 1999-2000 OFFICIALS MANUAL
NATIONAL FEDERATION OF STSTE HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATIONS

NOT HIGHER BALL.
On page 35. Fouls 230.
Its is imperative that a definite procedre in officiating mechanics be used when a foul occurs. The following duties should be performed in the order listed by the calling official:

a. Informs the timer and alerts the scorer by sounding the whistle with a sharp blast while raising one hand, fist clenched, straight and high above the head.

b. After a slight delay, extend the other hand, palm down toward the fouling player,s hips.

c. While holding the foul signal, move near the fouling player, stop and verbally inform the plaer that he/she fouled by stating the shirt color and number.

d. Lower the foul signal and only indicate the nature of the foul by giving a preliminary signal.

e. Verbally give free-throw shooter,s number to the shooter and to the other official. Visually give the number of free throws to the free official.

f. Indicate the throw-in spot if a throw-in wll follow.

g. If a goal has been scored, signal to count as soon as it is legally scored.

h. If the ball goes in the basket, it is the responsibility of the free official to communicate to the calling official
"the ball went in."


Now remember that this is only High School Ball not higher ball. DIV 3, DIV 2, DIV 1, CBA, WNBA, NBA, XYZ?

Allways trying to get better!
