The question I have, is why don't you use already existing officials for this league? These kind of leagues are the way officials around here make some extra money and to fill out some parts of their schedule for younger officials?

Nothing wrong with that. I just ask because many leagues have gone to rules that allow them to have licensed officials work as a mandate. It makes little difference, but with liability always in the backdrop and time to teach others rules, that seems to be what is done here. I know there are some leagues that might have HS kids work or non-licensed adults, but it seems to the norm they contact an existing high school assignor or local officials association and use their officials. I get emails literally every day to work some league somewhere and cover everything from middle school to men's leagues in many places.

I have trained HS kids to officiate for county youth leagues, but last year the county decided to use adults. They did not require NFHS tests, but made they made their own certification test from the previous year's NFHS test. The adults worked out much better than the HS kids, but only because they got more respect from parents. I don't think they are better officials.
I have also trained adults for our local church leagues. There, they often required team members to ref the game before or after the game they played in. So, it was a victory to get consistent referees who at least had a couple of hours of training. Legal liability has never been raised as an issue. Are there really laws about these things? ![]() |

Tell them not to be afraid to make a call late.
"I see it......no, wait.......yeah, that's what happened! Oops, too late now." It's not too late. Blow the whistle.

The concept of control -- player control, team control, no control -- and when control starts and ends. These affect so many other rules.

If my brief experiences with church leagues are any indication, those new officials had better practice their technical foul procedures

This really is a Church based league. You MUST attend church or you can not play. Many leagues do not have that rule. |

There is a page at the end of the rule book which has about 20 basic concepts of the game. It would make a great handout. It is entitled "Basketball Rules Fundamentals."
