What preventative voice/words should the referee say in the following scenarios? 3 A player has used his dribble and is being double teamed closely by two defensive players. He has held the ball for two seconds so far. 4 A defensive player is guarding a player dribbling up the court. He has tried to reach in to knock the ball away and the referee thinks he is going to do it again and will probably commit a foul. 5 Two opposition players are trying to get front position at the low post. The referee in lead can see this. They are beginning to push and link arms to get front position. 6 With less than two minutes remaining in the game, a defensive player makes no attempt to go for the ball and holds the player with the ball with two hands. The referee immediately calls an unsportsmanlike foul. The player being held does not like this, and pushes the defensive player away with two hands to the chest. The referee should: not make a call as the player is allowed to push the player off himself. call an unsportsmanlike foul on the player who has the ball. call a disqualifying foul on the player who has the ball. 1

This is: a five second violation. 26 For a five second violation to occur on a player who is in the court during play, what needs to happen? 27 A2 is dribbling up the court and has used five seconds when the defensive player knocks the ball out of bounds. How many seconds do Team A have remaining to get the ball into their frontcourt? eight seconds. five seconds. three seconds. 4
