Trail in Transition (Cof2, Cof3)
(IAABO Manual pgs. 36, 154)
|
|
In both a Crew of 2 and a Crew of 3, it is essential for officials to maintain an open view on ball handler – defender match-ups in slow to moderately paced transitions as the ball advances into the frontcourt.
As the ball advances from backcourt to frontcourt on the other side of the basketline, the Trail should be 1-2 steps behind the ball to maintain an open look between the dribbler and primary defender. Because the ball is across the basketline, the Trail should position-adjust onto the court. In a Crew of 2, this position-adjustment is much closer to the basketline than what is being depicted in the Crew of 3 diagram. The reason for this is the additional support from the Center official in a Crew of 3.
In both a Crew of 2 and a Crew of 3, as the ball advances from backcourt to frontcourt on the Trail’s side of basketline, the Trail should be “sideline-oriented” and keep pace with the ball to maintain an open look between the dribbler and primary defender.
In many instances, getting this angle will require the Trail official to move swiftly to keep pace with the ball handler. There will be times when it won’t be possible for the Trail to keep pace with a fast-paced transition. In those instances, the Trail should hustle to the frontcourt and get to their initial starting position at the 28-foot mark as quickly as possible.

Listing Team Members in the Scorebook
|
|
Twelve minutes before the scheduled start of each game, the Referee is required to go to the scorer’s and timer's table to complete several outlined pregame duties. One of those duties is to confer with the scorer and check the official scorebook to verify the team roster, the listed team member numbers are legal, and five starters are properly designated.
If you’re like most officials, one of the things you do to verify the accuracy of the scorebook is to count the number of players listed for each team in the scorebook and then count how many players are on the court.
On most occasions, this will be a routine task, as the number of team members on the court will match what is listed in the scorebook.
But what if there are more team members listed in the scorebook than what is on the court during pregame warm-ups?
The NFHS rules book defines a team member as a member of bench personnel who is in uniform and is eligible to become a player. (4-34-4)
Based on this definition, many officials believe that when more players are listed in the scorebook than are on the court during warmups, the scorer should erase any team member listed in the scorebook that is not on the court. By doing so, this will ensure the number of players present and in uniform will match what is listed in the official scorebook.
While this rationale is certainly understandable, the four IAABO Co-coordinators agree this is not the spirit and intent of the rule.
It is our opinion, the NFHS would not support assessing an administrative penalty for a team member who wanted to participate in a game who arrived late to the contest. The NFHS supports inclusion and encourages students to participate in a variety of education-based activities. A student might be late to a basketball game because they are participating in another school activity e.g. a band concert, an SAT/ACT test, a Scholar’s Bowl competition, etc.
We recommend officials allow schools to have all their team members listed in the scorebook. When the Referee checks the book, if there are equal or more team members listed in the scorebook than those who are present in the game, there should be no issue.
The Co-coordinators have added this issue to the list of items we wish to verify with the NFHS. In the meantime, if you encounter this situation, allow a team to have the extra names listed in the book.

More than one-third of NBA referees are in
COVID-19 protocols, sources say
|
|
Adrian WojnarowskiSenior NBA Insider
As the omicron variant rips through NBA players and coaches, it has reached a season-high among game officials: 36% of the league's referees are in COVID-19 protocols, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
With 25 of the league's 70 active referees currently in quarantine, the league has been promoting G League referees to fill out the nightly roster of games, sources said.
There have been rare instances lately when only two referees -- instead of the standard three -- were available for games, but the NBA has continued to work to limit those occasions, sources said.
The G League has paused the season until Wednesday to allow for players and referees to be available to the NBA.
NBA referees are 100% vaccinated and are required to be fully boosted prior to Wednesday, sources said. Only a percentage of refs currently on road trips haven't been boosted, but must do by Wednesday.
Officials don't have the protections that teams do with charter flights and five-star hotels, but the NBA has been working with the National Basketball Referees Association on improvements related to travel -- including hotels -- that might serve to lessen exposure to the virus, sources said.
