Ask the RIC

Dave Werry, SABO Referee in Chief, has put together a few of the frequently ask questions he receives. Click on the link below to take a look.

Ask the RIC  REVISED FEB 23

Hello SABO Members,

I receive video links from FIBA Americas and I will share them with you along with some comments.  Please note that some videos are not the best quality and if FIBA Americas (FA) puts a comment on the video you have to realize English is not their first language.  On some videos FA will put a check mark or a red X agreeing or disagreeing with the call.  Click on the link and you can view the videos on You Tube

12 0029 THEMES BACKCOURT VIOLATION CONTROL OF THE BALL FIBA BASKETBALL RULES

Should be a red X on this video.   The black team had team control in the front court and the white team never gained control after the steal attempt.  Black team player # 10(?) is the last to touch the ball in the front court and the first to touch it in the back court.  Backcourt violation.

12 0026 THEME UNSPORTSMANLIKE FOUL FIBA BASKETBALL RULES

If a player is in the air on a shot for a goal they are very vulnerable.  If there is contact that is severe or there is no attempt to play the ball then an Unsportsmanlike foul should be called.

12 0022 THEME 24 SECONDS RULE FIBA BASKETBALL RULES

Great game awareness by the Centre official.  The shot clock was at 12 when a non shooting foul was called in the frontcourt.  The shot clock was correctly reset to 14. It is very important for the non calling and sometimes calling official to have a quick look at the shot clock to make sure it is not rest in error.

I will be sending more video links in the future.  If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks, 

Dave Werry

SABO Referee in Chief

Correction of an Interpretation

2010 new Rules PowerPoint (updated Dec 2/2011)

Article 17.2.6 deals with the throw-in spot when the ball enters the basket, but the basket of free throw is disallowed.

It was believed that the provision applied only when it was the offense that committed an infraction which caused a basket scored by that team to be disallowed, the purpose being to make it clear that the basket did not count when the ball was awarded to the defense for a throw-in.

However, recent inquiries with FIBA have confirmed that the rule applies when a basket is disallowed whether it is due to an infraction committed by the defense or by the offense.

Case 17-17 in the Casebook was corrected accordingly. It now reads as follows :

17-17 While dribbling in the lane toward the basket, A1 is fouled by B1 just before starting the act of shooting. A1 continues his movement, releases the ball which enters the basket. This is the 3rd foul on Team B for the quarter. The official disallows the basket and awards Team A a throw-in. Should Team A's throw-in take place at the free throw line extended?

Yes. Article 17.2.6 says: "Whenever the ball enters the basket but the field goal or the free throw is not valid, the subsequent throw-in shall be taken at the free-throw line extended."

The casebook has been corrected as of October 5. The updated version should now be available on the CABO website.
