Rule Nine: Violations and Penalties
NFHS Point of Emphasis – Free Throw Shooter
• Rule 9-1-3g was revised in 2014-15 to allow a player occupying a marked lane space to enter the lane on the release of the ball by the free thrower. As a result of this change, protection of the free thrower needs to be emphasized. On release of the ball by the free thrower, the defender boxing out shall not cross the free-throw line extended into the semicircle until the ball contacts the ring or backboard. A player, other than the free thrower, who does not occupy a marked lane space, may not have either foot beyond the vertical plane of the free-throw line extended and the three-point line which is farther from the basket until the ball touches the ring or backboard or until the free throw ends.

Rule Nine: Violations and Penalties
Free-Throw Provisions (Who, What Where, How Many, How Long)
• Prior to Placing the Ball at the Disposal
• After the ball is placed a the disposal of a free thrower
• Double Violations - If there is a simultaneous violation by each team, the ball becomes dead and no point can be scored. Remaining free throws are administered or play is resumed by team entitled to the AP throw-in from the designated out-of-bounds spot nearest to where the violation occurred.

Rule Nine: Violations and Penalties
Free-Throw Provisions
Disconcertion:
• Disconcerting the free-throw shooter is a violation (9-1-5). Officials should pay particular attention to situations in which the free throw will become dead (first of two or first two of three). Defensive players frequently employ tactics which serve no other purpose than to disconcert the shooter (instructing players to box out, waving arms, etc.). With the spaces closest to the shooter remaining vacant, disconcertion should be minimized.

Rule Nine: Violations and PenaltiesSITUATION : A1 is shooting the first of a bonus free-throw situation. A4 is positioned in one of the fourth spaces (near the shooter) and B5 is positioned in the other fourth space. The incorrect alignment is discovered by the officials

(b) after the ball is at A1’s disposal, but before the try is in flight;
(c) when the try is in flight;

ROP to Prevent Delay Throw-Ins (7.5.1)
• When a team does not make a thrower available, after a time-out or the intermission between any quarter, this procedure is used to prevent delay. The administering official will sound the whistle to indicate play will resume. Following a violation by one team, if that team continues to delay when authorized to make a throw-in, it is a technical foul. Following a violation by both teams, any further delay by either team is a technical foul.
Timeout, Intermission and /or Free-Throw Administration (8.1.2)
• Following a time-out or intermission, the resumption-of-play procedure may be used to prevent delay. The administering official will sound the whistle to indicate play will resume. The ball shall be placed at the disposal of the thrower or placed on the floor and the count shall begin. Either or both teams may be charged with a violation. Following a violation by one or both teams, if the offending team(s) continues to delay, a technical foul shall be ruled.

Officials Movement & Positioning
Why do officials miss plays?
• Positioning, Mental preparation, Physical conditioning, and Game speed (Court) experience all play key roles.
• Move only to get angles that allow you to see the play completely.
• Basketball is a game of nearly constant motion. Keep making "position adjustments" to get the proper angle (active feet) that allows you to see between and through opponents ("find open looks").
• Find the key matchup(s).

The Game (Good to Great, Pursuit of Excellence)
Focus on PCA
Tempo
Set the Bar
Whistle when Needed
Adjust to Flow
New Two Minute Clip
• Start the game w/good toss
• Let the players play through some energy
• Set the bar for fouls and violations
• Work hard off the ball in PCA
• Help partners in SCA if needed
• Adjust to changes in intensity & flow
• Repeat the cycle
Officials Movement & PositioningSuggestions to make your transitions smoother, improve coverage and work confidently. Concentrating on movements a crew to officiate the live ball action will make you a better official.
• Move more than you think in the lead - rotating when you should during a live ball
• As the lead look for an opportunity not excuses to get to ball side
• From the outside, be global (eyes wide open) - increase your field of vision
• Always know where your partner(s) are and balance the court
• In the center, be uncomfortable when the ball gets close to you, be patient and let the rotation occur with the lead moving first.
• Conclusion: focus on these key elements of movement during live ball situations.

Officials Movement & Positioning
• When a foul occurs, officials shall signal the timer to stop the clock (Raised closed fist).
• The official shall verbally inform the offender, then with finger(s) of one hand, indicate to the scorer the number of the offender and the number of free throws.
• When administering a throw-in on the frontcourt base line, officials will place themselves to the outside of thrower (balance the floor) as not to be boxed in between thrower and basket.
• An official who calls a foul in the frontcourt shall move to the table side of court to report foul to scorer and remain there while either a free- throw or throw- in occurs.

• In order to receive full credit with the State, each official must attend a minimum of 6 clinics and a minimum of 3 scrimmages.
• In order to receive credit for a local clinic, an official must attend the full meeting. Officials arriving fifteen (15) minutes or more late or leaving fifteen (15) or more minutes early WILL NOT qualify for a clinic credit.
• Officials need to keep their availability current in Arbiter at all times. Most scrimmages will be assigned by the Clinic Leaders and assignments will be keyed into Arbiter. All scrimmages will posted on the website (@ Thursday, 11/5 to Saturday 11/14).
• Clinic Leaders will use their discretion in separating officials with the primary goal being to expose all EBOA Members to 3-man mechanics as soon and as often as possible.
• Officials are welcome to attend any clinic area of their choice and may "make up" clinics in any area; HOWEVER, each clinic area will follow the same content outline during the year.
