20 Years Experience
Chicago, IL
Male, 60
For twenty years I officiated high school, AAU and park district basketball games, retiring recently. For a few officiating is the focus of their occupation, while for most working as an umpire or basketball referee is an avocation. I started ref'ing to earn beer money during college, but it became a great way to stay connected to the best sports game in the universe. As a spinoff, I wrote a sports-thriller novel loosely based on my referee experiences titled, Advantage Disadvantage
The ref should extend his arm sraight from the shoulder indicating a delayed call. If the free throw goes in, ignore the violation. If the free throw does not go in , then reshoot the free throw.
Share Answer: 
delay of game are team technicals, not attributed to a player. They do count toward the bonus
Share Answer: 
Team A gets to keep the scored baskets. Turn the players around to the correct direction and resume play.
Share Answer: 
No. In NFHS rules, a basket cannot count if an offensive foul is called on the shooter.

What was the saddest student journal entry you've read?
Yes. If it is a legit fumble.
Share Answer: 
NCAA has a list of technicals and penalties. In NFHS rules all technicals are 2 free throws plus ball, at the mid court line. NCAA is point of interruption. It is confusing.
Share Answer: 
If player A1 is shooting and B1 blocks the shot and is last to touch the ball before it goes out of bounds, the throw in is awarded to team A.
