Welcome to IAABO Play Book+
|
This video was developed by IAABO to show the Casebook in a visual format and help officials learn the rules by seeing them applied.
You, the viewer, can decide how best to enjoy the video.
For individuals who want to understand the play situation, the clip contains a title page, casebook page, and a "Key Concepts" page that outlines each play situation and the pertinent rules that apply. Each of these pages will stay on the screen for 3 seconds. The viewer can "pause" the video on any of these pages to allow the necessary time to read the information.
If the viewer wishes to go directly to the video clip, simply move your cursor to the 9-second mark of the clip and watch the play. See if you can determine the correct ruling. The clip will play a second time. This time, the clip will provide a “Play Analysis” and outline the correct ruling and key concepts that apply.
We hope you will enjoy this educational tool, and it enhances your understanding of the rules.

Closely Guarded outside PCA
(IAABO Manual pg. 11, Section J, pg. 119, Section D)
|
|
If an official begins a closely guarded count on a dribbler, the count should be maintained until the player stops dribbling, regardless of location in the frontcourt. At times, this requires an official to maintain the closely-guarded count even if the dribbler has left their PCA.
So if an official is maintaining a closely guarded count on a match-up outside their PCA, which official should be responsible for contact should it occur?
This season, IAABO has approved an editorial revision that clarifies this exact situation. If the illegal contact occurs between a dribbler and defender while the official is continuing the count outside his/her PCA, primary responsibility for that illegal contact falls on the official in whose PCA the contact occurs.
This provision applies to both the Crew of 2 and Crew of 3. The official maintaining the count should position-adjust to be in a position to rule on the closely guarded situation. When the status of the ball changes (i.e. dribble to hold) or if the defender gets head and shoulders past the defender, the count would cease, and the counting official should turn their attention back to their PCA.
This editorial revision should not preclude the official from maintaining the count to also rule on contact in situations when they are needed. If the official accepting the ball is screened or has other match-ups to cover, it may require the counting official to make the ruling.
This change should help reduce double whistles and outline the teamwork needed for the crew to rule accurately on these types of plays.

Visual Counts
(Thomas Hanbach, Board 50, NY)
|
As we prepare for the upcoming basketball season, we need to prepare ourselves to get into great physical shape, master the rules, floor mechanics, procedures, and signals to be effective. Officials also need to understand what situations warrant a visual count to be displayed.
Visual counts are an intriguing part of the game of basketball. Why do we have visual counts? What rules require a visible count? Are there any counting situations that do not require officials to display a visible count?
Visual counts communicate essential information to players, coaches, and even your partner(s).
The rules that require a visual count are as follows:
- Ten Second Backcourt count: (9-8, 9-9)
- Closely Guarded count: (4-10, 9-10)
- Free Throw-Ten Second count: (4-20, 8-1, 9-1)
- Throw-In-Five Second count: (4-42, 7-6, 9-2)
There is one rule that does not require a visual count:
Understanding player control and team control (4-12) is important as well as the status of the ball (4-4) to accurately apply these counts. The ten-second backcourt count starts when a team gains control of the ball in the backcourt and continues until the ball gains frontcourt status.
The 3-second count can only occur if a team has control of the ball in the frontcourt and does not apply during a throw-in, even though team control starts at disposal. One of the primary reasons that 3-second rule does not require a visible count, is there are times the count should be “suspended” by rule. Allowance must be made for a player who, having been in the restricted area for less than three seconds, dribbles in or moves immediately to try for goal. (9-7-3)
Disposal (4-4-7) is another important concept to understand as the 10-second free throw count and the 5-second throw-in count begins when the ball is placed at the disposal of the thrower in each case. Those counts continue until the ball is released by the thrower.
Visible counts may even be used to correct timing mistakes when the clock is not properly started as these counts allow officials to have “definite information” of the time that should have elapsed. (5-10-1)
Officials should familiarize themselves with the following casebook plays that help us understand these rule situations when visual counts occur. 4.12.2B, 4.15.4E, 4.42.3, 5.10.1B & E, 5.10.2, 6.1.2B, 7.5.1A, 8.1.1, 9.2.9, 9.3.3, 9.5.3, 9.7.2, 9.8A-D, 9.9.1C, 9.10.1A&B, 9.10.3
Officials should master these rules so they may be applied accurately on the court. Good Luck and Have a Great Season!

William Kennedy Named Regional Advisor for
DI Men's Basketball Officiating
(NCAA/September 1, 2021)
|
|
INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championships announced that it will have one new regional advisor for the 2021-22 season.
The new advisor for the men will be William Kennedy [West Region], joining veterans Jim Burr [South Region], Ted Hillary [Midwest Region] and Frank Scagliotta [East Region]. Kennedy will operate from his home in Phoenix, Az.
Kennedy worked 16 NCAA Tournaments and five regionals in a career that saw him work games for many of the major conferences, including the Big 12, Big Sky, Big West, Conference USA, Mountain West, Pac 12, Southland, Sun Belt and WAC. Kennedy served as a college basketball official for 25 years spanning from 1987-2012 and is replacing Tommy Nunez Sr. as the western regional advisor.
“I am very excited to be welcome Bill Kennedy to our national officiating evaluation team,” said J.D. Collins, NCAA National Coordinator of Men’s Basketball Officiating. “He brings a wealth of experience, knowledge and passion to the program both as an official and an evaluator. The Men's Basketball Regional Advisors not only observe about 60-70 games in person and 40+ games via electronic media, but they chart every correct call for every official they watch.
“Their efforts behind the scene are an important part of the effort to bring consistency and accountability to men's basketball officiating, and are a vital role in identifying, selecting and advancing officials for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship.”

Latest Cycle of Game Officials Licensing
Meets Targets with a 31% Rise in Female Officials
|
|
MIES (Switzerland) - FIBA enjoyed a successful Game Officials Licensing (GOL) cycle, launched in October last year for the period of 2021 to 2023, with an increase in National Federations that registered candidates and a rise in the number of female officials.
The third cycle of GOL since 2017 saw an extended administrative and testing timeline, from October 2020 to May 2021, which proved useful due to the circumstances brought about by the coronavirus pandemic.
It allowed for more time for National Federations to select candidates and the submission of documents, and it extended timelines for both fitness and written tests.
One key for the success of the GOL in this cycle was the active cooperation by those involved from FIBA Referees Operations in Switzerland, to both the Regional Offices and National Federation members.
Being connected virtually played a crucial role. For example, there were online workshops with Regional Offices before the launch of the candidates' registration, and follow-up workshops with the Regional Offices and the National Federations in Africa, the Americas and Asia, respectively, during the registration.
Plenty was achieved throughout the latest cycle, with the main achievement being a jump in National Federations registering candidates. This GOL term had 171, an increase of nine on the previous cycle of 2019-21.
An impressive 83% of candidates were registered by the deadline in December 2020, and the total number of registered candidates ended up being 1,315. Click here to read more.
