    Ep.16 | 10 Basketball Rules Questions That Only Experts Will Get Right
    Feb 14 2021
    show where we take National Federation of High School Rules. We lift them off the printed page and breathe life into them. We simplify, clarify, amplify and give them back to you in a form you could take with you on to the basketball court. Greetings again everybody, my name is Greg Austin without abetterofficial.com. I've been a high school basketball official for over a decade, and I consider myself to be a Basketball Rules Expert. This show is about helping you become a Basketball Rules Expert, as well. as a reminder, this video is focusing exclusively on National Federation of High School basketball rules. Before we get started with today's episode I have to give a shout out to show supporters.• Tracy Hounsom• Janice Brown• Darwin Sanada (S)• Paul Sullivan (S)Much appreciated and much love. If you want to be a supporter of the show, you can always buy us a coffee, there's a link in the show notes below.Today, we're going to have another lightning round episode. Ten quick questions with quick answers. Down and dirty, with the correct answers to the play scenarios. Remember though to stick around. play number 10 is the toughest in the group. Let's get started with our very first play scenario,Last Second Shot Bounces In!With only a few seconds left on the clock, A1 attempts a try from the backcourt, which lands far short. the ball bounces near the free throw line and up towards the basket. The horn sounds, and then the ball goes through the basket. The officials score the goal, but rule it to be a 2-point goal.Were the officials correct? Yes or No?A player in the backcourt dribbling the ball, and knows the clock is winding down. They throw the ball towards the basket. The ball though, ends up far short of the basket. They had thrown it high enough that it bounced in the lane area. It then bounced up towards the basket and goes in the basket just after the horn sounds.Do we score the goal or not? What do we need to know here?We need to know when a try for goal ends.We need to know when a ball becomes dead.Those two components are really important here.A try for goal ends when:the goal is successful,when it is obvious that it will not be successful.When a try contacts the floor, orwhen the ball becomes dead.Those are the four ways of trying that one of those things happen. In this situation, now we know that when a try is in flight and time expires, the ball is still live. But when it is no longer a try for goal. The try has ended, then the ball becomes dead. So on our play here. The ball was live in the air. The ball bounces, the try has ended. And the horn sounds before the ball enters the basket. The ball has become dead because it was no longer a try. In this instance, no goal should have been scored. Were the officials Correct? No. No, they were not.B1 is guarding A1. As A1 drives to the basket. Teammate B2 shoves B1 into A1. The officials, rule of pushing foul on B2, Were the officials correct? Yes or No?There's no associative property in basketball. The player who offends here on this play is the player who had the illegal contact. Even though that was through no fault of their own right. Their teammates shoves them into the opponent. The action of the shove are not penalized. The illegal contact by B1 is penalized. So in this play, Were the officials Correct? No, no, they were notPlayer runs Out-of-bounds around a screenTeam A has the ball in the frontcourt, A2 and A3, set a screen near the endline. A1 runs out of bounds around the screening teammates and back onto the court and receives a pass on the other side. The officials rule a Player Technical Foul on A1.Were the officials correct? Yes or No?So we have a player leaves the court and goes around the screen, in an effort to lose the defensive player reemergence on the other side, and catches the ball, pass by a teammate, this sounds really familiar. If we had this same play, except A1 was a thrower and delayed and was off the court released a throw-in pass. Then, use the same screen in the same fashion failed to return to the court but instead went out of bounds. And then returned to the record, and received the pass. that is a player technical foul by rule. But during play. When a player who's on the court leaves the court for an unauthorized reason by rule. They have committed a violation. And that is what should have been ruled, I believe in far gone times. This action was considered a player technical foul. No officials called it. So the nfhs said, let's just make it a violation so that it's penalized more frequently. And so that's what we have here, violation from leaving the court for an unauthorized reason on A1. So in this instance Were the officials Correct? No, no, they weren't3 Tenths of a Second Catch and Shoot PlayTeam A as a throw-in with only 3 tenths of a second showing on the clock. In one smooth motion, A1 catches the throw-in pass and quickly releases a try for goal prior to the horn sounding. The officials rule ...
