Welcome to IAABO Play Book+
 
Player Control Foul on an Airborne Shooter
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.

Pass/Crash Coverage (Crew of 2)
(IAABO Manual pg. 48)
The direction of the pass dictates coverage on pass/crash plays in the free throw lane area. 

On the left side of the diagram, the pass is directed toward the Trail official.  In this case, the Trail would be responsible for staying with the pass and observing the perimeter activity.  On the other hand, the Lead is responsible for ruling on the potential contact in the free throw lane area.

On the right side of the diagram, the pass is in the direction of the Lead official; therefore, the Lead is responsible for the pass and related activity.  In this case, the Trail official will be responsible for ruling on the potential contact in the lane area.

Officially Human; Behind the Stripes LLC (OH) was founded by Brenda Hilton as a grassroots effort to "humanize" sport officials in all sports at all levels. Brenda has spent close to 20 years working with sport officials and coordinators at the DI level and grown to appreciate them for all they do for our youth and young adults. OH is currently working with 12 high school associations (with more on the horizon) across the country to survey officials at that level, gathering information to take back constituents and participating states in hopes of building a nationwide campaign. To date, 16,000+ officials have shared thoughts and ideas on how to address the issue. 
OH currently has sportsmanship banners available for purchase to be displayed at venues; they can be customized with the venue logo.
