POE #3: FREE THROW SHOOTER... protection of the free thrower needs to be emphasized. HOW? New Free Throw Rule

On release of the ball by the free thrower, the defender boxing out shall not cross the free-throw line extended into the semicircle until the ball contacts the ring or backboard. New Free Throw Rule

ENFORCEMENT: If a VIOLATION Only Players who occupy free throw lane line marked spaces during free throws may enter the freethrow lane upon the free thrower releasing the ball. However, should a defensive player cross the free-throw line too soon (prior to the ball striking the ring or backboard), it is a violation. A delayed violation signal is to be displayed. If the free throw is successful, the violation is ignored. New Free Throw Rule

VIOLATION Only

ENFORCEMENT: VIOLATION, then TOUCHES NFHS: If a defender contacts the free thrower (after crossing the free throw line prior to the ball striking the ring or backboard), a personal foul is the correct ruling. Original NFHS Interpretation

ENFORCEMENT: VIOLATION, then FOULS If a defender contacts the free thrower (after crossing the free throw line prior to the ball striking the ring or backboard), a personal foul is the correct ruling. MHSAA Interpretation: Our intent is the following: Contact with the free thrower more than incidental merits a personal foul.we need to make it more than just mere contact. Thanks! Mark Uyl MHSAA Assistant Director MHSAA Adaptation

THEREFORE... ENFORCEMENT: VIOLATION, then FOULS If a defender (after crossing the free throw line prior to the ball striking the ring or backboard) contacts the free thrower MORE THAN INCIDENTAL CONTACT, a personal foul is the correct ruling. So New Free Throw Rule

VIOLATION and FOUL?

SITUATION 1: The opponent makes contact (more than incidental) with the free-throw shooter before the free throw reaches the basket. The free throw is missed. RULING: The official should rule a violation on the opponent and a personal foul. (9-1-3g Penalty 2b) New Free Throw Rule

SITUATION 2: After A1 releases the ball on a free throw try, B1 steps into the lane and backs across the free-throw line to box out the freethrow shooter then makes contact (more than incidental) with the free-throw shooter. The free throw is missed. RULING: The official should rule a delayed violation on the opponent. A1 will be awarded a substitute free throw and the contact is ruled a foul. The substitute free throw would be administered with the free-throw lane spaces unoccupied. (9-1-3g Penalty 2b) New Free Throw Rule

Illegal contact on a post player is any tactic using hands or arms or just generally demonstrates rough physical movements that allows a player on offense or defense to control the movement of an opposing player.

MHSAA mechanics are the NFHS mechanics with the exception of the Long Switch on Foul in Backcourt with No Free Throws (p.90). We still have the trail do a Long Report, then go back to administer the throw-in to the team attempting to advance to the other end. It is anticipated that the MHSAA will resume providing the NFHS Officials Manual to all its registered officials beginning next pre-season. However, because many officials do not have the most recent edition of the NFHS Officials Manual, the MHSAA Mechanics Manual that has been posted on the MHSAA website has been revised to reflect updated NFHS mechanics. This revision is good because the three-person section includes a vast amount of mechanics instruction that the NFHS Officials Manual does not. The two-person section will be retained in its older format but one minor revision should address the inaccurate mechanic for officials to follow during timeouts. MHSAA APPROVED MECHANICS

POE #2: REBOUNDING One of the leading causes of injury in high school basketball continues to be the result of illegal contact that takes place during rebounding. Any activity to illegally gain rebounding position on an opponent must be properly enforced and penalized. Some examples of illegal rebounding activity are: a. Displacing, charging or pushing an opponent; b. Extending the arms or elbows to impede the movement of an opponent; c. Using the hips or knees to hinder or impede an opponent; d. Violation of the principle of verticality; e. Contact between players in free-throw lane spaces prior to the ball being released by the free thrower. Rebounders include each player involved in the act, whether an offensive or defensive player. It is a coach s responsibility to teach players the proper rule based technics of legal rebounding.
