5. Session 4 Tuesday, November 20, 2018 TRU Science Room S373 19:00-21:00 2-Person Mechanics and Signals

6. 2-Person Mechanics See: FIBA Official Basketball Rules 2010 Referees’ Manual Two-Person Officiating

7. Opening Toss
Crew Chief (CC) will toss the ball (warning whistle before each period)
After the toss, CC remains stationary until players clear
Umpire (U) must verify that the tap was legal, i.e. that the ball had reached it’s highest point before being tapped and that the movement of the 8 non-jumpers was according to the rules
CC to become Trail and U to become Lead

8. Basic Positions Lead and Trail can be on either side of the court
However, we need to maintain a diagonal position in order to “Box In” the players
Pressing defenses: new Lead lines up with 3rd defender T L L T
Basic Positions

9. Areas of Responsibility
Trail is responsible for on-ball coverage in areas 1, 2, 3, and 6 (outside the arc)
Lead is responsible for on-ball coverage in area 4
Shared responsibility of on-ball coverage in dark shaded area (5 and 6 inside the arc)
Always move when the ball moves (“Mirror the Ball”)
Box-in all players
Move to see between the players (“Open Look” vs “Straight-Lined”)
Trail arc movement (“Walk the Arc”), penetrate
Lead between arc and far lane line (step back from endline to get a wider angle) L 6 5 4 T 1 2 3

10. Primary Duties for the Trail Official
Two and three-point field goal attempts including judging whether time had expired at the end of playing time for a quarter or overtime or a shot clock violation had occurred
Goaltending and interference
Rebounding situations, especially over-the-back situations
Low post area, especially on weak side (away from the ball)
Fouls away from Lead official
Travelling violations (Trail official has the best angle of vision)
Shot clock violations
Also see manual page 23 T

11. Primary Duties for the Lead Official
Pivot/post play
Play under the basket
Fouls away from Trail official
Drive to the basket on Lead’s side of the playing court
Also see manual page 29

12. Out of Bounds

13. Throw-Ins Mechanics for out-of-bounds and out-of-bounds help
Throw-in spot nearest to point of infraction
Never behind the backboard
Diagonal from elbow to corner: endline
Throw-in from back court handled by Trail
Bounce passes usually preferable to ensure you are in the best position

14. Throw-In: Front Court Endline
Warning whistle prior to passing the ball to the thrower-in
Bounce passes usually preferable to ensure you are in the best position
Responsible for visible 5 second count
Trail mirrors Lead’s start clock signal (“Chop In”)

15. Throw-In: Front Court Sideline
Above free-throw line extended:
Trail moves across to pass the ball to the thrower-in
Lead moves to box-in position on base line
No warning whistle
Below free-throw line extended:
Lead and Trail do not cross the floor
Lead bounces the ball to the thrower-in
Trail mirrors Lead’s start clock signal (“Chop In”) T L L T B

16. Calling a Foul Stop clock: arm straight up, clenched fist
Announce what happened (briefly) and what will happen next (endline vs shooting 2)
Jog to the scorer’s table (6 to 8 m) and stop
Report while standing still
Signal colour of player
Signal number of player
Indicate nature of foul
Number of free throws or direction of play
If applicable, B-F-S-T (Basket, Foul, Sub, Time Out)
Jog to next position
Free official keeps all players within field of vision
In principle, exchange positions: calling official becomes or remains T

17. No Switch After a Foul
Lead calls a foul on the offensive player and jogs to a spot 6-8 meters from the table
Lead reports with feet planted
Lead becomes the new Trail
Trail becomes the new Lead
The calling official always stays or becomes Trail L T L L T

18. No Switch After a Foul (Cont.)
Trail calls a foul on the defensive player and jogs to a spot 6-8 meters from the table
Trail reports with feet planted
Trail remains as Trail
Lead remains as Lead
The calling official always stays or becomes Trail T L

19. Both Officials Calling a Foul (“Double Whistle”)
Whenever this occurs, the two officials should immediately establish eye contact with each other to verify the call
Close cooperation between the two officials is absolutely essential
The nearest official to the play or the official towards whom the play is moving takes the call in order to avoid conflicting decisions (unless the other official noticed some other foul or violation prior to the double whistle)
In 3-person mechanics, if there is a double whistle from Center and Trail, the official opposite the table will take the call to avoid a switch (provided the officials have the same call)

20. Free Throws Lead administers all free throws
Lead lines up below the block for the 1st free throw(s), then off the court for the last free throw
Trail goes to the side opposite the table (In 3-person mechanics, the Trail may proceed down-court with the players, away from the ball)
Trail shows the number of free throws, holds their signal, then drops their hand(s) when the ball is released
On the last or only free throw, raise arm and be ready to start clock if rebound L
Free Throws T L T
Free Throws

21. Free Throws (Cont.) Trail is responsible for: Watching the shooter
Watching the players along the opposite side of the restricted area
Watching the players outside the 3 point line
Displays the proper free throw signal until ball is released
Non-visible 5 second count
Watching the flight of the ball and the ball on the ring
Confirming if the free throw was successful

22. Free Throws (Cont.) Lead is responsible for:
Watching the players along the opposite side of the restricted area until the ball is released
Following the release of the free throw, observing all the players entering the restricted area
Looking for contact situations and possible violations of the free throw provisions
Starting the clock if the final free throw is successful

23. Free Throws Without Line Up of Players
Technical, Unsportsmanlike or Disqualifying fouls
The official who did not call the foul (Lead) administers the free throws from the baseline
The calling official (Trail) goes to the center line extended, opposite the table L T

24. Time-Outs
The official closer to the scorer’s table administers the time-out by immediately blowing the whistle and giving the time-out signal
The ball is placed on the floor at the next throw-in or free throw spot (move away from table side sideline)
The officials then stand at either free-throw line extended or at the center line
After the time-out, the calling official blows the whistle when the 50 second horn sounds and both officials shall proceed to the benches to break the huddle
In 3-person mechanics, the non inbounding officials proceed to the benches with 20 seconds remaining in the time-out, while the inbounding official proceeds to the ball
