Pregame and Halftime

Position yourselves on the

side of the court opposite

the scorer’s table. The

referee will stand at the

division line. U1 and U

should be approximately

28 feet from the nearest

endline. U2 observes the

visiting team while U

watches the home team.

• The officials assume 60 second timeout

positions facing the scorer’s table. The

official who will be administering the

ensuing throw-in will hold the ball at

the location of the throw-in. The other

two officials are positioned on the

blocks furthest from the team benches.

• At the 45-second point, you should hear

the timer sound the first buzzer or horn.

The officials on the blocks should take a

step or two toward the team bench and

give the “first horn” signal. It’s a good

idea to identify a person in the team

bench area during pregame who is

responsible for seeing that signal –

assistant coach, trainer, playing captain,

etc.

Full Timeout

If the ensuing throw-in will

be near the scorer or team

benches, having the official

who is to administer the

throw-in standing at the

spot invites problems.

Instead, move straight out

on the court in line with the

other two officials. The

other two officials are

positioned on the blocks

furthest from the team

benches.

FULL TIMEOUT: THOW-IN NEAR BENCH

If the ensuing throw-in

will be near the scorer

or team benches, move

straight out on the

court in line with the

other two officials.

The other two officials

stand at the top of the

near three-point arc,

on both halves of the

court.

30 - second timeout: throw-in near bench

• The officials are positioned

halfway between the farthest

point of the center circle and the

sideline opposite the scorer’s

table (1).

• After both teams have left their

benches and gone to their

respective locker rooms, all three

officials walk over to the scorer’s

table and the referee takes care of

specified duties (2).

• After performing duties at the

scorer’s table, the officials leave

together for their locker room (3).

LEAVING AT HALFTIME

  • U1 takes a position on the table-side sideline, approximately 28 feet from the endline to the left of the referee. U1 is primarily responsible for calling back a poor toss, signaling the clock to start when the tossed ball is legally touched and counting the home team players. U1 also watches both jumpers.
  • U2 takes a position on the sideline opposite the table, approximately 28 feet from the endline and on the opposite half of the court U1 is on. U2 is responsible for the position and action of the nonjumpers and counting the visiting team players.
  • While still outside the circle, the referee notifies both team captains that play is about to begin. Tell the players to hold their spots to avoid violation.
  • Tell them to jump straight up and not into each other and tell them not to tap the ball on the way up.

POSITIONING- Jump Ball

  • In the frontcourt, the trail is responsible for 60

percent of the three point arc, up to the far

lane line and down to the endline. The center

is responsible for the three point arc from the

near lane line down to the endline. The lead

does not have three point arc responsibility

except when helping in transition.

  • On three-point trys, only the covering officials

should indicate the attempt. The indication

should be made with the arm closest to the

center of the court so the table personnel can

see it better. The covering official should also

signal if the attempt is successful.

  • If the trail official signals a successful three-

point shot, the center official mirrors the

successful signal. If the center official signals a

successful three-point shot, the trail official

mirrors the signal. There is no need to mirror

an attempt signal.
