1.1 Shots Taken In Corners The lead official widens and opens to assist trail on shots that are taken in the corners of the frontcourt. The lead should make sure the shot attempt is clean before releasing to observe the post players.

1.2 Endline Throw-ins

A new throw-in mechanic for the lead official on spot throw-ins along the endline in the frontcourt requires the lead to administer the throw-in at the midpoint between the lane and end of the three-point line as the “new point of demarcation.”

If the ball is outside the new midpoint, the lead stands on the inside, taking a step or two back to administer the throw-in. If the ball is inside the “new” midpoint, the lead stands on the outside to administer the throw-in.

Section 2 Mechanics Points of Emphasis 2.1 Foul Reporting Clear players by moving briskly or a quick jog to the reporting area. Use only approved signals that are in the back of this manual when reporting.

The CCA Manual Mechanics Committee wants referees to clear the players and move to a spot just ahead of the top of the (free throw) circle for table reporting before moving to their new position opposite the scorer’s table (see MechaniGram).

Hustle and being quick with reporting are qualities of successful officials, but there are times when working too fast can be a detriment.

Delay momentarily after signaling the foul at the spot to ensure there is no continuing action or trash-talk among the players.

No matter the atmosphere around you, such as players, coaches and fans yelling about your foul call, it’s important to slow down when reporting fouls. Once the immediate area appears calm, clear all the players by running around them toward the reporting area. Do not run through a crowd because then players are behind you and you lose sight of them.

After hustling to the foul reporting area, come to a complete stop. Make eye contact with the scorer. Give the scorer the needed information (does the goal count, jersey color and number of fouler) clearly and slowly.

Rushing through the foul-reporting sequence raises the possibility of having to be called back to the table, something that puts the focus squarely on you and not the game.

The non-calling officials also have specific duties during the dead ball: • Keep all players within your field of vision. During that dead-ball time, you can prevent many extracurricular illegal activities from brewing into bigger problems. Use your voice to let players know you’re in the area.

Your mere presence may stop a problem.

• If the players appear calm, begin moving toward the throw-in spot or begin preparing players for free throws. Move slowly and with your head up, watching the players as you move. Use your voice to tell the players what’s next. By having the players ready for the next play, the ball will get back in play quickly and smoothly.

See Section 15 for more on the responsibilities of the calling official and noncalling officials.

2.2 Stopping the Clock The mechanics committee wants officials to use a raised arm and closed fist (MechaniGram A) on all foul calls, violations and out of bounds plays (MechaniGram B) to stop the clock. That is especially important in venues that do not have timing devices and during the NCAA tournament, which is played without timing devices.

Stoppages occur every time the official blows the whistle when the clock is running or after a successful field goal in the last 59.9 seconds of the second half or overtime period. Specifically, the whistle is blown on fouls, a held ball, violations, injuries, to consult scorers or timers, unusual delays and emergencies.
