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

I dont know about fiba but in nfhs thst is true.
Share Answer: 
As you descibe it, no I would not call it a foul because if you did not hit the wrist the result would be the same...blocked shot.
Share Answer: 
If time has expired and the ball is dead, a personal foul is ignored unless flagrant. If flagrant, it is enforced at the start of the next quarter, unless the game has ended.

This is a new one for me! Yes, I would call it unsportsmanlike.
Share Answer: 
Yes, as long as you keep your pivot foot in place, or if you have no pivot foot, you keep both feet down. Not sure why you would do this, even if it is legal.
Share Answer: 
Yes, as long as you dont carry the ball. You cannot travel in the middle of a legit dribble sequence.
