Nope, we use NFHS rules. We should use NBA rules for our adult league. They still get upset when we call a travel after they take 3 steps! I was part of the three man in this game and was right in front of the play and called it as a BC. Thanks!

How does an official call a violation and then get overruled?
Can you please explain where your partner gets the authority to do that?

Yes we do actually....that is if there is enough of us to do so.

He is the senior official, so I suppose he felt he could overturn my ruling. We solved the problem today, so at least with a BC violation, I won't be over ruled.

Tell your partner he got two things wrong. Refer him here and we'll spell it out for him.

It can be confusing for these athletes. They like to think that they're NBA caliber, but are surpised when they're not and games aren't called using NBA rules.

Hey. I'm an NBA caliber official, as I tell myself every game, every day, all the time, and how can I argue with me, yet I'm able to call my Catholic middle school junior varsity games, with fifth, and sixth, grade players, using high school rules. It's easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.
