OFFSEASON? STAY SHARP with video review. Let's Look at PLAYS!
Can you issue a delay of game warning if a player shoots the ball well after the whistle? Then a tech if done again?
That appears to be the rule change. Adding delay of game warning for failure to give the ball to official. Any subsequent action that would result in a warning will be grounds for a Team Technical.
Although I understand the rule and it's usage, I still feel it misses things. The underlying thing should be if the defense was put at a disadvantage. If a player runs over the backline, defense runs along, gets to front them, and then the player receives the ball... Where is the disadvantage to the defender? Just like travelling in the backcourt with nobody around, it should do justice to the game, not the rules. I mean, yes, players should not do stupid things, but I hope we as a community are not going to be pedantic about it.
I ask them to pick it up and hand it to me with a wink and a stern warning. So far, it has been helpful.
Evening Sir. I have a few questions that maybe you could help me with. Is it on all levels of basketball that a team can call timeout immediately after their own made basket? And is it considered a dead ball after a made basket?
Yes, the ball becomes dead after a scored goal. While the ball is dead, either team may request a time out.
@@BetterOfficials but if it’s dead, then doesn’t that mean an official has to let subs in after every scored bucket?
@@NapalmNash no. After a scored goal during play, substitutes are not allowed. But if a substitute has properly reported, they are allowed after a final successful free throw.
@@BetterOfficials Cool, thanks a lot!
Much appreciated
What happens if the shot goes in and you have an intentional foul
Eh, for play 3, the defender established position, but that is not the issue. He didn't jump straight up. He jumped sideways (and a little back). But that means he doesn't have a legal guarding position. I completely understand the call. The ballhandler would've been able to shoot the gap if the defender jumped straight up.
Greg always comes with that solid analysis 👌🏾
Some comps will ask refs not to physically intervene for occupational safety reasons, though. But yes, should have T'd up the blue player immediately.
This is bordering on flagrant foul.
In play 4---it looks like the shooter walked before the foul--caught the ball with both feet on the floor--then sort of hopped forward left then right--strict interpretation--that's a travel...thoughts?
Goal tending
How about bench personell harrasing table staff? I was always told we are considered part of the officiating crew but not sure if thats a real thing
Definitely part of the crew, and definitely can assess technical fouls to head coaches or assistant coaches or whoever should they address the table crew in an unsporting fashion.
Good call
Excellent. Please continue with the calls
I got the biggest kick out of learning the rule that elevates the penalty of a taunting player IF the taunt results in a fight. So if I’m a substitute in the game just to give a first stringer a breather, and I get taunted by the opposing teams star player, I need to think quick and punch him the mouth so both of us get DQ’ed. Net result, my team loses little old me but the other team loses a star. Funny as all hell!😉
Calling a technical foul on the Question Writer 😂😂😂😂
@8:29 Greg your minion is so cute. ha ha
It a “ B” by the 4th quarter sticker I assume that means Bonus 😊
Goal tending is my call for the first play.
Play 5 28:42 I'm with stanwhipple. It was stressed multiple times that the restrictions don't start until the ball leaves the official's hand. How can we have a violation when the official is still holding the ball??
