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 offensive player can extend his forearm within his vertical space. But the instance he pushes the defender outside the vertical.space he is entitled to, it is a player control foul

No violation.
Share Answer: 
Throwing punches is an automatic flagarant technical foul which includes ejection. However, if the other player incited the fight, such as racial slurs or unsportsmanlike conduct he could be ejected as well.
Share Answer: 
Yes, backcourt violation because when player 2 catches the ball in the backcourt it establishes backcourt status. When player 3 alights from the frontcourt he has frontcourt status, but when he lands he is in the backcourt, hence the violation.There is an exception in the rule book on a throw in which allows a player in the frontcourt to jump, catch the ball in the air and land in the backcourt. But that only applies 1. On a direct throw in, or 2. On an interception play by a defensive player.

I've heard that a lot of startups are hiring really well-educated college grads and paying them a lot, reasoning that customer service is often a client's most lasting impression of a brand. What do you think, and is it something you see spreading?

Is it ok w/your employer if you babysit one of the kids outside of daycare hours?
Well, in basketball size matters. So do skills. There sre always smaller guards playing at high school, college and pros but at that size you must be quick, and handle the ball well.
Having said that, if you love the game there is always a place to play (intramurals, house leagues, etc.). When i was.in college there was a university intramural league for players 5'9".and under. A guy in my dorm dominated the league ... he was 5'8", could drive to the basket, play the post and dunk. So if you love the game find a place where you can play.
Share Answer: 
At a point nearest to the violation.
Share Answer: 
Yes, the rule of thumb is that fouls are administered in the order they occurred. In your example, the offended player shoots 2 shots, then the technical foul is shot, then the ball is given to offended team at half court.
The only way technical fouls are not shot is if both teams commit an equal number of technicals and then they are not awarded, they offset each other.
