coaches Panel"
Luke: Communication with a coach on a play,
asking questions where the ball is supposed to go help you see the better the
play. Don’t be afraid to use comic relief with coaches, but need to be able to
build rapport with coaches.
Mike: Hedge plays. It is an on the ball
screen forming a T right on the defender. What coaches teach are the other
defender to come help will and to hold on the player or step on the foot.
Forming an L, can impede his progress, by slowing him down. Off Ball
screens: chucking the players out of bounce. Setting screens are perfect
up top because everyone in the world are able to see it, down low they will take
advantage of the tendencies of the officials and will try to get away with us
match as possible (usually in the key). Coaches are competitive by nature
and will try to get an advantage. Blind screens, the screener needs to
give him at least 1 step.
John McInnis talked about how the shot clock is
leading to a lot more zone defense. What do we do as lead when we cross over?
Watch for the skip pass, but let the play develop. No feedback on
questions Don’t ignore the coaches. * Block/Charge consistency *
Shot clock at the end of the game will change the strategy at the end of the
game. * Not my call / not my area
* work as hard as the coaches * If you don’t know terminology you need it
to communicate with the coaches: Short corner:
hedge play
Jump Stops - good don’t penalize for good jump stops, one two, let the coaches
know it was 1-2
Over the back - coaches use that non-rule terminology all the time, talk
basketball rules - say he didn’t displace the player.
Reach - how coaches teach it. These can be different from the rule books.
Hedge - (see above) Cutter -
Jeff Schireman summarized up what the coaches panel talked about
* Off ball * communication
(the two hardest thing for new officials to learn).
Play situations:
Most teams are right handed, and will have a tendency to run the offenses on the
right side of the court.
When coaches ask questions get a lot of blank stares and makes him wonder what
the experiences of that the officials have.
Don’t be afraid to say you blew a call.
How do you like the response "not my call" Coaches HATE IT! Its about how the
officials present it, say something like let me ask my partner.
Kevin Erickson talked about the correct rule interpretation of the “blarge” and
recommended that people read the case play on it. Be "slow to show" to
avoid blarges but know the rule if it happens.
Chris cook talked about the malfunctioning shot clock and game clock at
Glacier Peak.
No SCBOWBO Board Meeting.
