    PRE-GAME GUIDE

    Items to be considered for officials to discuss and review prior game time:

      -Court Arrival Procedures; clock; scorebook; coaching boxes; “x” on floor; captains-coaches pre-game conference (times for all)

       

      -Jump Ball; who is watching what?

       

      -Stay with fouls (not leave too quickly); watch for aftermath activity; say out loud numbers (foul/shooter) and/or where the ball is to be placed for throw-in

       

      -Help with shooters if non-calling official

       

      -If non-calling official, know if ball goes in; if under official making call help if needed (tell, don’t signal – calling official makes the decision & signal)

       

      -Foul near shot, but it was a pass (vs. shot); calling official needs to be aware it was a pass

       

      -Make eye contact before putting ball in play; off officials count players; keep hand up if not ready to go

       

      -If we need to talk about anything; let’s do so – especially if something unusual occurs; very clear communication if “T”

       

      -Keep shirts tucked in; each dead ball; last resort is tell kids that you’ll send out of the game if they’re repeat offenders

       

      -Primary/secondary responsibility on drives; related - simultaneous whistles; make eye contact; someone take charge; ‘COME IN HARD & VERBAL”

       

      -If we need to correct a call be 100% sure!

       

      -3 point coverage; if away from the table signals, then official in front of bench do so too to insure seeing. (Point to line if toe on the line)

       

      -Goal Tending; Basket Interference

       

      -Time-Outs; ask coach if 30 second or full; if no answer – full. Get teams on warning; communicate during timeout where throw-in will be (move along baseline apply)

       

      -Warning issued (where applies); communicate with partners

       

      -Technical fouls; Intentional fouls; procedures

       

      -Coaches/coaching boxes; how manage

       

      -Full court press coverage

       

      -Last second shots

       

      -Free throw violation coverage

       

      -Front court coverage; particularly watch – C watch weak side off ball, illegal screens, rough play/elbows, 3 seconds

       

      -Throw-in coverage; particularly watch same as above

       

      -Closely guarded coverage visible count

       

      -Contact vs. foul philosophy; related, protect the shooter

       

      -Tagging/hand checking

       

      -New rules; points of emphasis

       

      -Let the players try to establish a level of physicality/contact early; do not call a “light” contact foul early

       

      -Reporting mechanic; 5th foul manage – issues/potential problems?

       

      -Flopping
