IAABO Play Book+
18-14 Removal of Jersey
This video was developed by IAABO to show play summaries from the Rules Guide in an audio-visual format to help officials learn the rules by seeing them applied in a real game situation.
 
The viewer can "pause" or “rewind” the video on any page to allow the necessary time to understand information that is discussed. 
 
We hope that you will enjoy this educational tool and that it enhances your understanding of the rules.

Pass and Crash (Co2)
(IAABO Manual pg. 32 Diagram)
The direction of the pass dictates coverage on pass/crash plays in the free throw lane area. 
 
(Left) The pass is toward the Trail. The Trail is responsible for the pass and any perimeter activity. The Lead is responsible for ruling on the contact in the lane. 
 
(Right) The pass is in the direction of the Lead; therefore, the Lead is responsible for the pass and related activity. The Trail is responsible for ruling on the contact in the lane area.
