Rules Changes
Red/LED Light Permitted to
End Quarter/Extra Period (114; 5-6-2)

backboard are present – they may
be used to end the period.
• If malfunctioning or not present, the
timer’s audible signal will be used.
NFHS Basketball
2009-10
Points of Emphasis
Traveling
• Traveling rule has not changed.
• Specific areas of concern:
– Spin move
– Step-through move, legal if player
does not drag or change pivot foot
– Jump stop
– Perimeter shooters taking extra ‘hop’
– Lifting the pivot foot before starting
the dribble
Traveling
• Guidelines for teaching &
officiating:
– Find the pivot foot.
– At start of dribble, ball must be
released before the pivot is lifted.
– After dribble has ended, the pivot
may be lifted, but the ball must be
released on a pass or try before it
returns to the floor.
Closely Guarded
• Closely-guarded rule is in place
to create better balance
between the offense and
defense.
• The offense gains a tremendous
advantage if the rule is not
enforced properly and
consistently.
Closely Guarded
• The rule basics:
–Player is in control in his/her
team’s frontcourt.
–Guarded by an opponent who is
within 6 feet.
–Defensive player must obtain a
legal guarding position.
Closely Guarded
• The rule basics:
–Player may legally…
• HOLD for 4 seconds
• DRIBBLE for 4 seconds
• HOLD for 4 seconds
Closely Guarded
• A closely-guarded count continues if
defenders switch, provided the 6foot distance and legal guarding
position is maintained.
• Officials use a visible count when
the 6-foot distance is established
and switch counting arms when
going from one counting situation to
another.
Three-Seconds
• The restricted area includes the
lane and all lines defining it.
• Rule is in effect when a team is
in control in its frontcourt.
• Team control exists:
–Player is holding/dribbling the ball.
–Passing among teammates.
–Interrupted dribble.
Three-Seconds
• Team control CONTINUES until:
– Ball is in flight during a try for goal,
an opponent secures the ball or the
ball becomes dead.
• Team control DOESN’T exist so NO three
second count exists:
– The tapping of a rebound.
– A loose ball following a try.
– During a throw-in.
Three-Seconds
• An allowance is made and the count
stopped when a player in the
restricted area has the ball and
dribbles/moves to try for a goal. If
the player has been in the lane for
more than three seconds and
passes the ball to a teammate a
three second lane violation should
be called.
Three-Seconds
• Rough post play is reduced when
the three-second rule is properly
enforced, defenders cannot and
should not be expected to
defend/deny in the post indefinitely.
• When offensive post players are
permitted to “camp out” –
defenders get more physical in an
attempt to move them out.
Block/Charge
• Knowing and understanding the
rules regarding legal guarding
position are critical in coaching
and officiating this play.
Block/Charge
• The two main components of
legal guarding are:
– Obtaining a legal guarding position
– Maintaining a legal guarding position
• The following rules pertaining
to guarding and can be found in
Rule 4-23.
Block/Charge
• To obtain an initial legal
guarding position:
– The guard must have both feet
touching the court.
– The front of the guard’s torso must
be facing the opponent.
Block/Charge
• To maintain a legal guarding
position:
– One or both feet on the court, with
inbounds status.
– Doesn’t have to continue facing.
– May move laterally or obliquely, but not
toward the opponent when contact
occurs.
– May raise hands or jump in vertical
plane; may turn/duck to absorb
imminent contact.
Block/Charge
• Guarding an opponent WITH THE
BALL or STATIONARY without the
ball:
– Time and distance not required to
obtain a legal guarding position.
– If airborne, guard must have obtained
legal position before the opponent left
the floor.
Free-Throw Administration
• Lane-space requirements:
–Limit of four defensive and two
offensive players along lanes.
Free-Throw Administration
• Fouls must be called when they
occur during free throws – just as
they would for illegal contact during
rebounding activity following a try
for goal.
• Of specific concern:
– Players locking-up arms under the
basket and pushing and displacing
opponents in marked lane spaces.
Free-Throw Administration
• Disconcertion is also a concern since the
spaces closest to the shooter are now
occupied.
• Example: Players putting arms up or
dropping arms when shooter is about to
release the free throw shot.
• Players shall not enter, leave or touch
the court outside the marked lane space.
Free-Throw Administration
• Appropriate free-throw positioning by the
officials will assist in proper penalty
enforcement.
– Lead is approximately 4 feet from near lane
line for ALL free throws.
– Center is halfway between the near lane
line and the sideline; just above the freethrow line extended.
– Trail is at approximately the 28-foot mark,
NOT at the division line.

Slapping the Backboard
 More players are slapping the backboard during the
course of playing action
 Officials must determine if the act is:
 Unintentional – part of a legitimate attempt to
block a try for goal = LEGAL
 Intentional – venting frustration or drawing
attention to him/herself = TECHNICAL FOUL
 By definition, this backboard contact cannot be basket
interference
Officials’ Mechanics &
Signals
 Communication and consistency most important
elements of officiating
 Officials must be familiar and comfortable with proper
NFHS mechanics and signals
 Use only approved NFHS mechanics and signals to:
 Effectively cover the court with individual primary
coverage areas
 Only Effective way to communicate with partners
and provide immediate information/feedback to
coaches, players, scorers, timers and fans
Officials’ Mechanics &
Signals
 Signals are used to communicate – not to draw
attention to the official
 Use of unauthorized signals can confuse because
meaning may be unknown
 Signals should be given in a calm, controlled,
professional manner – NOT “hit and run”
 Uniformity in mechanics and signaling is essential to
promote consistency and communication from one
game site to the next
SPORTING BEHAVIOR –
SPECTATORS
Officials:
 Never directly confront fans.
 Find the game administrator to take care
of the problem.
 In extreme cases, delay the game until
the offending fan is removed.
 If a game administrator is not present,
the head coach serves in this capacity.
