Technical Foul
Post play under the basket. A lot of contact and the defender (Team B, dark jersey) was called for a push from behind. The offensive player (Team B, white jersey) reacted by clapping for the official’s call. Do you think the Technical Foul was warranted? Regardless of whether or not the call was valid, fouls must now be administered in the order in which they occurred. If Team A is in the bonus, they would administer free throws for the first foul at Team A’s basket with the lane spaces empty. Then, administer the free throws for the technical foul at Team B’s basket wit the lane spaces empty, followed by Team B’s ball at the division line, opposite the table
Blocking Foul on the Defense
Offensive player (Team A, white jersey) moves into the path of the defender in C’s coverage area (top left). Did the offensive player meet the rule requirements for a legal screen? A block was called on the defensive player.
Foul or No Foul
A lot of contact here by the defense (Team B, black jerseys). Do you see any fouls which should have been called? Watch the first drive to the basket, then the rebounder attempting a layup.
Two-Person Game, Foul, No Foul
Both videos above are examples of contact that should be called in a under level game. Because of the no calls, tempers were escalating and the contact became more severe.
Sideline Inbound Mechanics
Administering official should be on the outside of the inbounder on this sideline play. Even though the pass goes left, the team is actually going right.
Ball Watching
Two-person game. It is critical that officials keep their eyes in their coverage areas. Both officials in this clip are watching the ball and could miss things in coverage areas because they are simply not looking there. Also, watch when the play stops, neither official keeps their eyes on the players in a hotly contested game.
Block or Charge?
Lead official in great position to make this call. Did the defender establish legal guarding position? The call was a charge. What do you think?
