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
The first time you slap him, I pass. The second time I call a foul even if there is no change in advantage because 1) you INTEND to get an advantage, and 2) if you are allowed to slap the player you are going to get punched and the game will deteriate. A good referee has each foul in context....you wouldn't last too long if I officiated your game and you started slapping players hands.
Share Answer: 
delay of game are team technicals, not attributed to a player. They do count toward the bonus
Share Answer: 
If player A1 is shooting and B1 blocks the shot and is last to touch the ball before it goes out of bounds, the throw in is awarded to team A.
Share Answer: 
Team A gets to keep the scored baskets. Turn the players around to the correct direction and resume play.

What's the most frivolous case you’ve handled?
Yes. If it is a legit fumble.
Share Answer: 
It is correctable as you describe the play. Put the correct player at the line. All fouls and points which occurred before the error is recognized stand, but no time is put back on the clock.
Share Answer: 
No. In NFHS rules, a basket cannot count if an offensive foul is called on the shooter.
