I've tried referring a Jv game, it's not as easy trying to call a game on floor as many have tried to "officate" a game from the bleachers. :mad:

You mean there is a lot more going on at all times?

 

Amazing how some fans can see just one thing and complain but not consider how much is happening for just two refs to watch. That's why I am surprised they would pay any attention to the bench and the assistant coaches.

In Louisville, rough play is the most difficult interpretation to understand. What is considered a foul, what is not? It appears, games are expected to last an average of 1hr and 7 minutes from tip-off to closing buzzer. I am always amazed by that part of game. 2 man crews call more fouls than 3 man crew.

One rule of have noticed "rural" area refs aren't fully educated on is the jump stomp. The Jump stomp perfected in the inner city game is a legimate and legal move. When you stop, and then jump in the air for a layup. As long as you release the ball before a foot retouches the ground on the last jump it is legal by letter of the rule.

 

But because some kids are very fast and athletic, and are able to cover alot of ground on this move, some refs will call it a walk. When in fact its as legal as any other move a player can use.

 

But its not a move seen as much in the "rural" parts of the state.

The blanket statement that the jump stop is legal is incorrect.

 

It depends on the footwork BEFORE the jump stop in combination with the footwork after they land. Many times, its done illegally.

cshs is exactly right. Jump stops are rarely done correctly. They are legal if you catch the ball with one foot on the floor (thus becomming your pivot foot) and jump with both feet landing simultaneously. You also have no pivot foot when you jump stop and that is where a lot of the traveling occurs.

Or if you jump from both feet simultaneously (rarely done), you can then land on one (pivot) and then have the other land.

 

Often times, you see step-step-jump followed by one-foot-land then second foot-land. Walk.

Isn't that the Cha-Cha??

The jump stop I described was legal. You leave the floor and jump stop with both feet landing in equal position side by side, then you are allowed to leave the floor again as long as the ball is released prior to landing on the floor for a second time.

Charge or block is a call that can be interpreted differently and called differently.

 

The Bluegrass Association of officials that calls for the 10th and 11th are EXTREMELY intent on enforcing the NO ASSISTANT COACH STANDING RULE. Others don't care.

 

An assistant coach stands in a game called by the Bluegrass Association and you will receive a technical. I have seen a 1/2 dozen for the assistant coach simply standing and talking to THEIR players without saying a word to an official. That is the rule. Some places it is not enforced, others it is.

I didn't see it myself but heard a girl was given a T for flopping on an attempt to draw a charge. This happened at the end of close game and affected the outcome. Is this a legitimate call?

I'm glad the palming call is being called somewhere in Kentucky Because it's not in some parts.

 

 

 

Overheard from the stands at one game after a palming call, " Hey, quit calling that!!!! It is a point of emphasis for the NCAA, not here!!!!!

 

Overheard from the stands at a different game (actually a Girls game) after a jump stop resulted in a basket, " Hey, you've got to stop that playground (insert bad word)!!!!!! This ain't New York City!!!!

Or catch the ball while airborne, land one foot (pivot) and jump to both simultaneous. Legal jump stop but have no pivot foot. If feet don't land simultaneously it is a travel.

That statement is the arrogance of some KY basketball fans that don't realize this is legal, no matter how it looks.

The jump stop I described was legal. You leave the floor and jump stop with both feet landing in equal position side by side, then you are allowed to leave the floor again as long as the ball is released prior to landing on the floor for a second time.

 

Legal ASSUMING both feet landed at the same time(important distinction) unless it was done legally in the less common way I described above.

 

Again, most high school (heck, college) players do not do it legally. Its tough to call sometimes because of the quick feet so , yes, it will get missed occasionally.

 

IMO, it has nothing to do with 'rural' since every kid all across the country sees the move on TV and tries to repeat it.
