• Official’s Duties- 10-second back court count. (Rule 2-7.9).

Major Officiating Concerns
• Handchecking
The rules committee is concerned that various types of handchecking on a player with the ball drastically reduces the dribbler’s ability to beat his man to create scoring opportunities. Accordingly, certain guidelines for officiating these plays have been inserted into Rule 10 and officials are instructed to call the fouls as written in the rules.
• Freedom of Movement
The rules committee continues to express concern that the rules relating to a player’s ability to move with or without the ball are being neglected by officials resulting in more physical play and less opportunity for scoring. Officials need to refocus their energies on penalizing illegal contact by the defense which prevents players from cutting freely, running their offense and otherwise creating a more free-flowing game.
• Block/Charge Plays
After reviewing tapes of numerous block/charge plays, the committee is
concerned about the number of incorrect calls made, especially on plays
involving 1.) a defensive player moving forward toward the dribbler in an attempt to establish initial legal guarding position outside the restricted area, and 2.) the defender not establishing initial legal guarding position on plays involving airborne shooters/passers. The committee asked that an educational process be undertaken to improve the officiating calls on these plays.
