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.

New SABO Uniform Available

At the Canadian Association of Basketball Officials (CABO) AGM in the fall it was decided that the FIBA style shirt is the recommended shirt for all games in Canada.  CABO asked the provinces to change to the new shirt by next year.  The SABO executive has agreed and the new shirts are available for sale.  The new shirt will be the official shirt at Hoopla 2010 in Saskatoon.

The  order form  below has a picture of the shirt.  When you are ordering, they do fit big so please take this into account.   Sizes available currently include small to XL so far and if you need a bigger size now please contact Dave Werry and he will see if I can get them in.
