12-13 rule changes
 

Any idea when these will be out?

Typically toward the end of May...

Based on memory alone, they announce the changes in mid-May and then they give further comments after this in May. Usually by the time we have HS camp season, we are fully aware of the rules changes. I attend a college camp in late May and I remember we have the changes by that time.

Peace

They came out May 5 last year:

NFHS | Penalties for Fouls during Throw-ins Changed in High School Basketball

Thanks to all that responded

Anything in particular you're hoping to see changed or added?

I'm hoping for an IAABO switching change. I'd like to see the calling official stay tableside. Watching others attempt to explain my call to coaches & me telling coaches to ask the calling official has gotten old...

Well, if you hadn't chatted it up so much, they wouldn't have changed it back. :D

IKR, but since then I have learned!!

We should be done conversing before the 2nd FT is administered.

I like to think my voice and mechanics at the spot and when reporting give the coach all the information he needs.

Although its still a work in progress, back when we stayed tableside I had zero court presense & my report to the table wasnt believable either :o

You're absolutely right though!

Back to the future? We used to do this, half the time, many, many years ago. In a two person system, the trail official would always stay to the left of the free throw shooter, which would put us in front of the coach half the time. Always the same coach.

Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.: Remember this? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

The reason IAABO didn't go with the FED mechanics change in 09 was to keep us AWAY from the coaches.


I think this is a good idea.

I much prefer going table side so I can be near the coach.

I'm aware of the reason why they changed it, but personally, I have no problem communicating with coaches after a foul call.

I don't care either way. I don't see why we need to be communicating with coaches after every foul call.
