Weekly Announcements

Week 5 - January 16, 2024

I hope everyone’s new year is off to a great start.

• Faking being fouled: As discussed at the area meetings, this is a deceitful act where a player is trying to bait the official into calling a foul by embellishing no or minor contact. Officials shouldn’t go looking for this. Sometimes players lose their balance. Sometimes there is minor contact that causes a player to fall with no embellishment. Just because a player falls to the floor doesn’t mean it is FBF.
  • If FBF is called on the defense, withhold the whistle until the ball becomes dead or the offending team (defense) gains possession of the ball.
  • If FBF is called on the offense, blow the play dead immediately. If there is team control, inbound the ball at POI if the first/warning infraction.
    • If there is not team control, as in a ball that is in the air on a try for goal, the basket counts if the ball goes in and the opposing team is awarded the ball after FBF is reported.
    • If the try for goal is unsuccessful, the possession arrow determines which team will have possession after FBF is reported.
• Weather forced postponement of 10 of 27 area meetings. If you couldn’t make it to an area meeting because of weather related issues and would like to earn credit, there will be live online opportunities.
