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.
To see more plays like this, log onto the “Members Area” on the IAABO website at https://www.iaabo.org and you will have access to the entire Video Playbook database.

Pass/Crash Coverage (Crew of 3)
(IAABO Manual pg. 162)
|
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 toward the Center official. In this case, the Center is responsible for the pass and any perimeter activity. The Lead then would be responsible for ruling on the potential contact in the free throw lane area. The Trail can also assist with ruling on this contact if they are in the best position to have an open look at the play.
On the right, the pass is in the direction of the Trail official; therefore, the Trail is responsible for the pass and related perimeter activity. The Center is responsible for ruling on the potential contact in the lane area.

Why Do I Officiate?
Thomas Hanbach, IAABO Bd. 50, NY
|
This is a question that most officials have asked themselves at some point in their careers. Whether you are new to officiating, in the middle of your career, or towards the end of your career.
The answer to the question should be simple: “The LOVE and PASSION for the GAME. “ Without this, you will genuinely have a hard time succeeding.
Whether you are an NBA, Collegiate, High School, Rec League, or Summer League Official, you have to have a “Passion for the Game.” This avocation is a paid hobby for most, not a profession, so you need to find joy in the officiating experience itself. You are contributing to the educational development of student-athletes. Because of your service to the game, these kids get a chance to compete and benefit from the life lessons this great game has to offer. We officials often have to remind ourselves of this at times, especially when we encounter situations where we are criticized.
If you do not have a “Passion” for officiating and the contribution you are making for the benefit of others, it will be a challenge for you to have a long career. If you are not motivated to officiate because you love the game, will you be motivated to maintain your professional appearance and stay fit to keep pace with play. Will you be motivated to use proper floor mechanics, signals and apply the rules accurately?
We all need to do our best to call a fair and honest game, no matter what level we are working. If you have the proper mindset, the officiating experience will be enjoyable and rewarding.
When you ask yourself, “Why Do I Officiate? “ Remember, the answer should be for the “LOVE and PASSION for the GAME. “
Good Luck! Enjoy officiating and have a successful season.

IAABO Good Citzen
Paul Mullaney, Bd. 54, Plymouth, MA

For the third year I participated in the Pan Mass Challenge on August 8. This is a bicycling event that has many route variations. The 192 mile two day jaunt from Sturbridge, MA to the tip of Cape Cod in Provincetown (2019) to a virtual route of your own choosing (2020). This year a 100 mile one day trek beginning and ending at Babson College in Wellesley, MA with my daughter Kristen.
The important part is the money raising activity. Every penny raised goes to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston to, "Find a Cure."
The PMC has raised $767 Million since inception in 1980. I am proud to have raised almost $35,000 over the past three years.

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.
