EBOA Beliefs Professionalism (Perception is 90% of reality) Leadership is not a position, it s a life style Ambassador for the game and the profession (you may be the only official they know) Can you accept that responsibility (what we do)? Are you willing to be accountable (who we are)? Dress and act professionally, and be prepared mentally and physically You may not receive credit for being dressed appropriately, but you will receive criticism for being dressed inappropriately. Respect your fellow officials and your crew Never compromise your or other official s character or integrity. Once you have it, only you can give it up. Pursue the tools you need to handle all situations Help others get where they want to go. (Know and Show the Way)

Rule Nine: Violations and Penalties Infractions: an act of breaking a game rule Infractions in Basketball: Fouls Violations Free Throw Floor Violations Basket Interference & Goal Tending

Rule Nine: Violations and Penalties NFHS Point of Emphasis Free Throw Shooter Rule 9-1-3g was revised in 2014-15 to allow a player occupying a marked lane space to enter the lane on the release of the ball by the free thrower. As a result of this change, protection of the free thrower needs to be emphasized. 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. A player, other than the free thrower, who does not occupy a marked lane space, may not have either foot beyond the vertical plane of the free-throw line extended and the three-point line which is farther from the basket until the ball touches the ring or backboard or until the free throw ends.

Rule Nine: Violations and Penalties Free-Throw Provisions (Who, What Where, How Many, How Long) Prior to Placing the Ball at the Disposal After the ball is placed a the disposal of a free thrower Double Violations - If there is a simultaneous violation by each team, the ball becomes dead and no point can be scored. Remaining free throws are administered or play is resumed by team entitled to the AP throw-in from the designated out-of-bounds spot nearest to where the violation occurred.

Rule Nine: Violations and Penalties Free-Throw Provisions Disconcertion: Disconcerting the free-throw shooter is a violation (9-1-5). Officials should pay particular attention to situations in which the free throw will become dead (first of two or first two of three). Defensive players frequently employ tactics which serve no other purpose than to disconcert the shooter (instructing players to box out, waving arms, etc.). With the spaces closest to the shooter remaining vacant, disconcertion should be minimized.

Rule Nine: Violations and Penalties SITUATION : A1 is shooting the first of a bonus free-throw situation. A4 is positioned in one of the fourth spaces (near the shooter) and B5 is positioned in the other fourth space. The incorrect alignment is discovered by the officials (a) before the ball is at the disposal of A1; (b) after the ball is at A1 s disposal, but before the try is in flight; (c) when the try is in flight; (d) when the successful try goes through the cylinder; (e) when the unsuccessful try is rebounding off the basket ring; or (f) when the rebound of the unsuccessful try is securely in A4 s possession

Rule Nine: Violations and Penalties RULING: In (a), the administering official shall reset the free throw and put the players in a legal location for the free-throw. In (b) and (c), an official shall sound his/her whistle immediately and call a simultaneous violation, utilizing the alternatingpossession procedure to put the ball in play. In (d), (e) and (f), the free throw has ended and the improper alignment is ignored. (9-1-2 Pen 3; 4-20-3)

Rule Nine: Violations and Penalties Floor Violations Throw-Ins Who can attempt the throw in? Can this be changed once it starts? How long do you have to release the ball? When does the throw in end? Boundary line Infractions?

Rule Nine: Violations and Penalties Floor Violations Travel, Kick, Fist, Ball Enters Basket from Below Illegal Dribble Jump Ball Three Seconds Ten Seconds Backcourt

Rule Nine: Violations and Penalties Floor Violations Backcourt: A player shall not be the first to touch the ball after it has been in team control in the frontcourt, if he/she or a teammate last touched or was touched by the ball in the frontcourt before it went to the backcourt. Closely Guarded Basket Interference Goaltending

Rule Nine: Violations and Penalties Floor Violations Excessive Swinging Of Arm(s)/Elbow(s): A player shall not excessively swing his/her arm(s) or elbow(s), even without contacting an opponent. Players may extend arm(s) or elbow(s) to hold the ball under the chin or against the body. The ball is dead when this violation occurs and is awarded to the opponents for a throw-in closet to the spot where violation occurred.

ROP to Prevent Delay Throw-Ins (7.5.1) When a team does not make a thrower available, after a time-out or the intermission between any quarter, this procedure is used to prevent delay. The administering official will sound the whistle to indicate play will resume. Following a violation by one team, if that team continues to delay when authorized to make a throw-in, it is a technical foul. Following a violation by both teams, any further delay by either team is a technical foul. Timeout, Intermission and /or Free-Throw Administration (8.1.2) Following a time-out or intermission, the resumption-of-play procedure may be used to prevent delay. The administering official will sound the whistle to indicate play will resume. The ball shall be placed at the disposal of the thrower or placed on the floor and the count shall begin. Either or both teams may be charged with a violation. Following a violation by one or both teams, if the offending team(s) continues to delay, a technical foul shall be ruled.

Officials Movement & Positioning Why do officials miss plays? Positioning, Mental preparation, Physical conditioning, and Game speed (Court) experience all play key roles. Move only to get angles that allow you to see the play completely. Basketball is a game of nearly constant motion. Keep making "position adjustments" to get the proper angle (active feet) that allows you to see between and through opponents ("find open looks"). Find the key matchup(s).

The Game (Good to Great, Pursuit of Excellence) Focus on PCA Start the game w/good toss New Two Minute Clip Adjust to Flow Whistle when Needed Tempo Set the Bar Let the players play through some energy Set the bar for fouls and violations Work hard off the ball in PCA Help partners in SCA if needed Adjust to changes in intensity & flow Repeat the cycle

Officials Movement & Positioning Suggestions to make your transitions smoother, improve coverage and work confidently. Concentrating on movements a crew to officiate the live ball action will make you a better official. Move more than you think in the lead - rotating when you should during a live ball As the lead look for an opportunity not excuses to get to ball side From the outside, be global (eyes wide open) - increase your field of vision Always know where your partner(s) are and balance the court In the center, be uncomfortable when the ball gets close to you, be patient and let the rotation occur with the lead moving first. Conclusion: focus on these key elements of movement during live ball situations.

Officials Movement & Positioning When a foul occurs, officials shall signal the timer to stop the clock (Raised closed fist). The official shall verbally inform the offender, then with finger(s) of one hand, indicate to the scorer the number of the offender and the number of free throws. When administering a throw-in on the frontcourt base line, officials will place themselves to the outside of thrower (balance the floor) as not to be boxed in between thrower and basket. An official who calls a foul in the frontcourt shall move to the table side of court to report foul to scorer and remain there while either a free- throw or throw- in occurs.

EBOA Central Hub/Beyond the Rulebook

EBOA Central Hub www.eboanc.arbitersports.com In order to receive full credit with the State, each official must attend a minimum of 6 clinics and a minimum of 3 scrimmages. In order to receive credit for a local clinic, an official must attend the full meeting. Officials arriving fifteen (15) minutes or more late or leaving fifteen (15) or more minutes early WILL NOT qualify for a clinic credit. Officials need to keep their availability current in Arbiter at all times. Most scrimmages will be assigned by the Clinic Leaders and assignments will be keyed into Arbiter. All scrimmages Christopher.Grimes@onslow.k12.nc.us will posted on the website (@ Thursday, 11/5 to Saturday 11/14). Clinic Leaders will use their discretion in separating officials with the primary goal being to expose all EBOA Members to 3-man mechanics as soon and as often as possible. Officials are welcome to attend any clinic area of their choice and may "make up" clinics in any area; HOWEVER, each clinic area will follow the same content outline during the year.
