Penalizing an Illegal Uniform
(3-4-3d, 10-6-4)
|
Four minutes into the first quarter a foul was called on number 8. You read that right, number 8! It is at this very moment the crew realizes that they have a significant issue. If you officiate long enough, you will encounter odd situations from time to time. In fact, this actually happened at a game recently.
Since the number 8 is an illegal number, it also means the player was wearing an illegal uniform. The penalty for this infraction is a direct technical foul to the head coach which also means the loss of the coaching box privileges.
In this particular game, the team had access to other uniforms so the player quickly changed their jersey to number 25 and continued to play.
But the question is, what if the team did not have access to a legal uniform to give to the player? Would the player be allowed to continue in the game wearing an illegal uniform?
The answer is yes!
In a sense, the technical foul “buys” the use of the illegal jersey for the game.
Discovering illegal uniforms is very rare, but in many of these situations a team will not have an alternative and the game will need to proceed with the player in an illegal uniform. It should also be noted, if multiple players are discovered wearing illegal uniforms, only one technical is charged regardless of the number of offenders.

Listing Team Members in the Scorebook
|
|
In the last issue of Inside the Lines, the Co-coordinators shared their thoughts on the definition of a team member and whether or not it was acceptable to have more people listed in the official scorebook than was in uniform and able to play at the gamesite.
This week, we received information from NFHS Rules Editor Lindsey Atkinson on the issue. She stated “we would NOT limit the entries in the scorebook to only those present at the start of the game.”
Based on this interpretation, officials should allow teams to have all their team members listed in the scorebook, regardless of how many are present at the game. When the Referee checks the official scorebook, if there are equal or more team members listed, there should be no issue with this aspect of the rule.
Original article:
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.

Hometown Sports: D'Orazio was a big-time
referee with big-time heart
|
|
Hometown Sports Michael Muldoon Jan 5, 2022
Haverhill’s Joe D’Orazio refereed scores of big games from the Merrimack Valley Conference to Big East games with legendary players like Georgetown’s Patrick Ewing and a slew of legendary coaches like John Thompson, Jim Boeheim and Rick Pitino.
Brian Martin of Windham has been a top local official for 33 years. He gives a huge amount of credit to D’Orazio, who died on Dec. 26 at age 84.
“He helped a lot of the young local referees,” said Martin. “He watched me do a Haverhill High game and spent a couple hours with me. He had all kind of notes written down. My God, I was shocked.
“The next week I had a full schedule from the Middlesex League and Greater Boston League from one of his contacts, Bill McDonald. When Joe called, people listened. He was bigtime. He was the man.”
In 2009, D’Orazio was honored as a 50-year member of International Association of Approved Basketball Officials (IAABO). Click here to read more.

Don’t agree with the referee’s call?
Opportunities available to come grab a whistle
|
CLAREMONT — Now that the fan restrictions have been relaxed, the crowds are back and its great to see games with spectators. Getting to be able to know a few officials and be on the sidelines for so many games has opened my eyes to what they do and what goes on from the far side of the field with the crowds.
Let me begin by saying that there is a significant need for officials in both New Hampshire and Vermont as age and the lack of new people joining the officiating ranks is troubling. I will not mention any names but these dedicated folks are invaluable to us and I used a few chats I had for this piece.
Being able to see so many games it gives a different perspective to me than when I was a parent watching my kids play. Click here to read more.
