I ran across this on the web, all look accurate to me, I want to distribute them to my rag-tag church league, just to help them better know the game. But I don't want to pass along any false info.. anyone disagree with any of these, (we play HS Rules)
The following statements are absolutely true. 1. There is no 3-second count between the release of a shot and the control of a rebound, at which time a new count starts. 2. There is no 3- second count during a throw-in! 3. There is no 3- second count on a player within the free throw circle and beyond the free throw line! 4. A player who is not a dribbler in control can keep a ball inbounds, go out of bounds, and return inbonds and play the ball! 5. A player can always recover his/her fumbled ball; a fumble is not a dribble, and any steps taken during recovery are not walking, regardless of progress made and/or advantage gained! 6. Steps taken during a dribble are not walking, including several that are sometimes taken when a high dribble takes place (it is not possible for a player to travel during a dribble)! 7. A high dribble is always legal provided the dribbler does not turn his/her hand over when he/she dribbles! 8. An unintentionally kicked ball is never illegal, regardless of how far the ball goes and who recovers it and/or advantage gained! 9. When an airborne player keeps control of an attempted shot or pass that is blocked and returns to the floor with it, he/she has not travelled; it is (and should always be called) a jump ball! 10. It is a jump ball (alternating possession) when the ball lodges on or in the basket support, except during a throw-in or any free-throw where the ball is not going to remain alive because of another free-throw or some other reason. 11. Striking the ball handler or shooter on his/her hand, while it holding the ball, is not a foul- no matter how noisy or how much it hurts! 12. Players do not have to "face the circle" during a jump ball! A jumper may tap the ball simultaneously; he/she may tap the ball twice, and when a legally tapped ball touches the floor the jump ball has ended, and either jumper may recover it! 13. A 10 second count continues when the defense deflects or bats the ball. 14. A "moving screen" isn't a violation unless there is contact. 15. The offensive team, when closely guarded in the midcourt, does not have to "penetrate" into the forecourt in any situation, as they get a new 5-second count each time they pass the ball! 16. Any contact foul during a live ball is personal, not technical! 17. Any unsportsmanlike contact during a dead ball is a technical foul! 18. A defensive player who has a legal guarding position has not made a foul just because "he/she moved" during a "charge or block"play! 19. When a player, in order to stop the clock, does not make a legitimate play for the ball, holds pushes or grabs away from the ball, or uses undue roughness, the foul is intentional! 20. An intentional foul always shoots 2, even if the basket is scored! 21. When an airborne shooter commits a player foul, his/her successful try for goal cannot be allowed, regardless of whether the try was released before or after the foul! 22. An official's whistle does not have to be "instantaneous" to prove a good call, because "effect upon the play" must be judged, and this may be immediate or there may be a short time lag! |
