' Mr. Reaves Peters,
Kanses City, Moe

Dear Reaves:

_ This will acknowledge your letter of February 12.
In my letter of November 4th I mentioned that Hinshaw
would be agreeable. I had assumed that you would go
‘ahead with that authorization and sign someone up.
Again I say that Hinshaw is satisfactory, so engage
hime

Now, whom have you for the other official? Time
is getting short and of course we would like to know.
Also, I. would like for you to find out at your earliest
convenience whom they are using down there. I understand
it is Ab Curtis, but who is working with Curtis?

I would prefer to get the same man who works there
to work our game here, Won't you get on this right away,
Reaves, and cet it settled? |

Personally, I would rather not use Carroll or
O'Sullivan in this game. This is reversing my attitude
as of November @th, but maybe you have the other man
picked. .

Thanks for your kind words regarding the game.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
FCA:AH Varsity Basketball and Daseball Coach.

Dear Doc:

| I found out last night, on the way home, that
Ab Hinshaw is open on Feb.20th. He seems to be the best bet
for your game with the Aggies. Please let me know at once
if he meets with your approval.

Your team looked great last night. I thought the
officiating was exceptionally good. The fact that they kept
the game under control at all times made a real game of it, and
I believe made for fewer fouls than would have been called
if they had allowed it to get rough at any time.

With all good wishes,

Cordially yours,

Dear Doc:

I belive you have the schedule of officials for
non-conference fames somewhere in your files.

When the two games between Kansas and the Oklahoma
Aggies were scheduled we immediately tried to assign the same
officials for both games. Curtis was assigned to a Southwestern
conference game on the date of Feb.20th. and O'Sullivan was busy
both date; Carroll being open for the 28th.date. It was absolut-
ely impossibel to get the same officials for both games, so we
did the next best thing, assigned the top men on both lists of
approval for the game in Stillwater. The officials that will WORK 5}

the two games are as follows: ai og
Et thr ‘a, ;
ad
Feb. 20 Oklahoma Aggies @ Lawrence Hinshaw, Gibbs-— Pye! en
Feb./28 Kansas @ Stillwater Curtis, daveatt a tee “Dns
peer e anneal “yk at 7

From all the information that I can get on Gibbs 4
he must be an excellent official. I belive in getting your ok.
on him I told you that he would be in St.Louis working the nights
of Feb. 19 and 21 and that he would come to Lawrence from there.
He is rated tops as an official and of course is anxious to make
good in our conference. I feel confident that he and Hinshaw will
work an excellent game. You will remember that you also said that
Van Reen of St.Louis would be ok. He couldn't get away, he has
an important meeting there that night, nen to do with the
defense program.

These games were schedules late, and at that time
all assignments in the Big Six and Missouri Valley conference
had been made, leaving very few recognized officials available.
We can get an official released from any minor college game when
it is absolutely necessary but can't do that with the Major Con-
ferences. I think we are fortunate that we were able to get four
fine officials for theseg two games. Unless we had been able to
get Curtis and Carroll for the game in Stillwater I hate to think
of whom we would have had to take.

With all good wishes,

Cordially yo
Reaves.

We had a

very fine meeting at Kansas City over the weekend and I think
I saw every other coach in the Big Six and the Missouri Valley
but I didn't run across you. No doubt you changed your plans

at the last minute and did not attend the meeting.

_I certainly appreciate your trouble in writing to me and it may

work out sometime in the near future that I'll have an oppor-
tunity of working a game in this part of the country when your

team is playing.

I sincerely hope that you were not detained in attending the

I*ll no doubt see you when your team plays up this way some-

Mr. Reaves Peters, ~

Dear Reaves:

T have a suggestion that I wish to pass on to you
for your consideration.

Yke Craig, of Chicago, was one of the officials in
our game with Loyola last year. We liked his work very
much and hoped that we could have him for our game with
DePaul on January 31. We learned, however, that he had
another assignment for that date.

I wondered if it wouldn't be a good idea to have a
reference list of fellows like Craig who would be campe-
tent to work some of our Big Six games. There are times

when we_are unable to agree on officials with Missouri,
and someone like Craig might be the answer to the problem.
be happy to

He gave splendid satisfaction, and I would
recormend hin.

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation,

“f BASKETBALL INTERPRETATION MEETING BULLETINS
Published by the
NATIONAL FEDERATION OF STATE HIGH SCHOOL
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATIONS

H. V. Porter, Secretary, 7 South Dearborn St., Chicago
Based on 1941-42 Official Basketball Rules

BULLETIN Il

NOTE: Second of a series of 5 National Federation Bulletins (1941-42)
To secure additional copies, see page 64 of Rule Book

This bulletin calls attention to sections of the rules in which there are minor changes from last year's
code. Most of these do not represent any actual change in administration but a study of them is
desirable.

Court Diagram and 2-1. The diagram has been modified to show that the standardized backboard
does not extend the entire width of the free throw lane.
3-2. This section has been reworded for accuracy but there is no change.

Question: Is it legal to paint the supporting bars and flanges of the basket with white paint?
Answer: Yes. The rules only specify that the ring shall be black.

Comment: At least one national group recommends that the supports be painted white. It is
claimed that the ring forms a better target under such circumstances.

5-3. In the second question the phrase “to an Official" has been added to the first line of the
answer. There was some misunderstanding relative to this question last year and a few interpreted it
to mean that it was a foul if the substitute even reported to the Scorers in the described situation.

Comment: The responsibility for knowing when a return is legal is placed on the player. The
Official has no authority to disregard the attempt of the player to re-enter illegally. He is obligated
to enforce the penalty if the player reports to him. If penalty is enforced, the player may remain in
the game. It might be argued that the player has no right to be in the game, even if it has cost
him a technical foul. The present ruling is on the assumption that since the free throw is for a
technical foul, the player would always find it possible to re-enter immediately after the throw. Throw-
ing a free throw is considered “resumption of play"’ even though the watch is not running. lf the
player were sent back to the sidelines after his illegal report, there would be complications in con- “
nection with the number of times the player has re-entered the game. Reporting to an Official is
considered an entry even though illegal. The penalty of one free throw is considered severe enough
for this infraction without also making it an extra re-entry.

6-3. The second sentence is new. This is inserted to make this rule consistent with Rule 9-4 which
prescribes that only the Referee has authority to forfeit a game.

 

 

 

 

Comment: Limiting the right to forfeit to the Referee is consistent with the practice of giving .S
the Referee authority over matters involving the score. Qe A

‘ 6-I1. The last paragraph and the third question have been rewritten.
Last Year's Wording 1941-42 Wording
"The Scorers shall be provided with a horn "The Scorers shall use a horn or other device
with which to attract the attention of the Offi- unlike that used by the Officials or Timers to
cial when the ball is dead. This horn should be signal the Officials. This may be used when the
unlike the signals used by the Officials and ball is dead or in certain specified situations
Timers.” when the ball is in control of a given team.”

Comment: Most of the horns which have been used by Scorers have been imported from foreign
countries and good ones may not be available. It has become a common practice for Scorers to use
a gong or siren. Some of these are more satisfactory than the horn.

The answer in the third question is more accurate than that of last year. It covers certain situations
in which the Scorers have authority to signal the Officials when the ball is in play (also see Item 4
in first column of Manual for Basketball Scorers). The new question also gives the Officials some
authority for blowing the ball dead when they must consult the Scorers to find the reason for the
blowing of the horn while the ball was not dead. There is no change in connection with which signal
kills the ball. The Scorer’s horn does not cause the ball to be dead.

7-2. This section has been rewritten but there is no change in meaning.
1941-42 Wording
"The ball is out of bounds when it touches: a
player who is out of bounds; or any other per-
son, the floor or any object on or outside a
boundary; or the supports or back of the back-
board."

Last Year's Wording

"The ball is out of bounds when any part of
it touches the boundary line, the floor outside
the boundary line, any object on or outside the
boundary line, any balcony, the supports or
back of the backboard, or when it is touched by
a player who is out of bounds. If the ball
strikes the edge of the backboard or rolls along
the top of the backboard without touching the
supports of the backboard, and then falls into ;
the playing court, it is in play."

The last question covers the case where the ball strikes the edge of the backboard and also when it
touches the ceiling. In both cases, the ball remains in play.

Note that the last paragraph of last year's section has been omitted. In past years this statement
was out of place. The question of who causes the ball to go out of bounds belongs in Rule 10 and

it now appears there.

7-14, 15, 16 and 18. All of these have been rewritten to make them consistent with other sections
of the rules. The only one that involves a change is Section 15.

Last Year's Wording 1941-42 Wording
"Section 15. A double foul takes place when "Section 15. A double foul is a situation
fouls are called simultaneously upon both arising when two opponents foul each other

teams." simultaneously."

There has always been a great deal of discussion with respect to what constitutes a double foul.
Under the old wording, a double foul might have included several fouls by different players on the
two teams. Under the new wording a double foul involves only two players and it is theoretically
possible to have five double fouls happening at the same time.

Play: Al fouls BI while BI is in the act of shooting. At the same time B2 fouls A2. Is this a
double foul and is only one free throw awarded to each team? Ruling: This is not a double foul and
each foul carries its own penalty so that BI is awarded two free throws if his goal was missed and Al
one free throw. The ball is tossed at center after the last throw.

8-8. There is a slight change in (2) of the first note.

Last Year's Wording

"when not in possession of a player, the ball
touches the floor or an Official beyond the

1941-42 Wording

"when not in possession of a player, the ball
touches anything beyond the line."

line."

In actual practice this change in wording will not make any difference. The change was made in
the interest of consistency. Under the old wording the ball was not technically in the front court when
it was touched (not possessed) by a teammate of the player who advanced it from the back court.
Such touching is always followed by the ball touching the floor or going into control of some player.

Play: Al has control in his back court for 9 seconds and passes the ball across the division line.
The pass is touched by A2 who is in the front court but rebounds to the back court. Has the ball
been in the front court and is this a violation? Ruling: As thé rule was worded last year, the ball
was not in the front court but the ten-second count continued and it was a violation for failure to
advance the ball within ten seconds. Under this year's rule, the ball has been advanced to the front
court in time but it is an illegal return. In either case, the penalty is loss of ball to the opponent but

In this meeting, continue the discussion of sections of the rules in which minor changes have been
made and also discuss other sections which have caused questions or which have interesting angles.
During the last several years, there has been a gradual recodification of the basketball rules. This
has been necessary because the original plans for the code, when the game was first invented, did
not make allowance for the many developments in connection with the game. The game has been
influenced by its rapid growth, by more adequate playing space, by changed tastes with reference
to all sports and by progress in many related industries. The rules have kept pace with these other
changes and allowance has been made for proper progress. However, as this progress has been
made, various rules were merely added to the original code. During the last few years, cognizance
has been taken of this fact and at least half of the rules have been entirely rewritten and rearranged.

Before Game

1941-42 Wording :

"Section 14. A disqualified player is one who
is barred from further participation in the game
because of committing his fourth personal foul,
or certain flagrant fouls, or for infraction of
Sections 5 or 6 of Rule 15."

Comment: There was some question as to the classification of an ordinary foul when it is the
_ fourth for a player (see 13-2).

8-5-c. The last clause “or after the last free throw resulting from any other fouls by both teams" is
new. This takes care of the situation where fouls by both teams are not classified as double fouls but
where the ball is tossed at center after the last free throw. These situations are more specifically
covered in Rule 13-7.

Play: Al pushes BI and BI throws a successful free throw. While Team A is holding the ball out
of bounds at the end, a foul is committed by B. Ruling: Ball is tossed at center after the free throw.

Play: Al is fouled while shooting and his try is unsuccessful. While the Referee is taking the ball
to the free throw line, a foul is committed by A2. Ruling: A is awarded two free throws and B is
awarded one after which the ball is tossed at center. This is not a double foul but the ball is put in
play the same as if it were.

7-14. Last Year's Wording

"Section 14. A Disqualifying foul is an in-
fraction of the rules for which a player is re-
moved from the game."

10-1. The first two sentences have been rewritten.

Last Year's Wording
"If at any time except following a goal, the
ball goes out of bounds, it shall be so declared
by one of the Officials. He shall designate a
nearby opponent of the player last teuched by
the ball before it went out of bounds to put it
into play.”

1941-42 Wording

"When the ball goes out of bounds, an Offi--
cial shall designate a nearby opponent of the
player who caused it to go out. If the ball is
out of bounds because of touching something
other than a player, it is caused to go out by
the last player to touch it before it goes out.
If it is out of bounds because of touching a
player (on or outside a boundary), such player
causes it to go out." ; :
Last year's statement was not clear in the case where the ball being out of bounds and the touching
of a player were simultaneous (a player who was out of bounds touched or caught the ball). The
new wording is definite.

Play: Al tries and the try is not successful. Al continues over the end line and is out of bounds
when BI recovers the rebound and bats or passes the ball against Al who is still out of bounds.
Ruling: The ball should be awarded to BI. Under such circumstances, it is theoretically possible for
B to take advantage of the rule. In actual practice, it is doubtful whether such action will occur.

Play: Al has the ball out of bounds at the side. He attempts to throw it in and BI bats the pass
back against Al who is still legitimately out of bounds. Ruling: Ball should be awarded to BI. This
is another case where it is theoretically. possible for BI to take advantage of the rule. However, Al
has the whole court into which to throw the ball and he also has plenty of chance to avoid being hit
by the batted ball if he is alert.

I1-1-Note. The first paragraph of this note is new. Since any player may request a time-out, it

_ is not uncommon for poorly informed players to ask at a time when they may not legally make such

Plage

a request. Under ordinary circumstances, the Official will ignore such request but if he erroneously
grants it, it is a technical foul as well as a charged time-out and the ball should immediately be taken
fo the free throw line. It is assumed that it is not essential that the full one-minute time-out be
allowed, since there is a considerable period of rest during the free throw for technical foul.

Play: While Al is dribbling, BI asks for a time-out and the Official blows his whistle. B has
already taken their last legal time-out. Ruling: This is a technical foul for delay of game and also
an excess time-out. Two free throws should be awarded to Team A. ©

Comment: It might be argued that this is a double penalty for the same act. However, if ‘such a
penalty were not provided, it would result in lack of any penalty for taking the time-out at the wrong
time. Illustration: Suppose BI asks for an excess time-out while his team is in possession. The penalty
is a free throw for an excess time-out. Extend this situation to the one where the excess time-out is
itlegally requested while Al is in control. If only one free throw were awarded, the illegal request
would go unpunished. Theoretically there are two infractions. The first for taking too many time-outs
and the second for breaking up a play by the opponent. This is the basis on which the two free
throws are awarded.

11-2. In the last question there are two slight changes. An omission in the answer makes it clear
that a thirty second substitution will cancel a charged time-out even if the time-out was taken in the
interval following a field goal. Also in the question the phrase “after the watch is stopped" has
been added.

In past years there was considerable laxity in connection with the method of counting the thirty
seconds. In some groups, a substitute was allowed thirty seconds from the time he reported to the
Scorer. In other groups, he was allowed thirty seconds from the time he entered the court. It seems
obvious that if a time-out is to be cancelled by a substitution, the thirty seconds should be counted
from the time the Timer stops his watch. In actual practice, this will make it almost impossible for a
team to cancel a time-out unless the time-out is actually taken for the purpose of making a substitu-
tion and unless substitution slips are being used to reduce the amount of waste time.

Comment: It might be claimed that teams may take advantage of this privilege. Here are some
illustrations: j
|. Following a field goal, Al asks for a time-out in order to prevent a fast break by the opponent.
The coach rushes in a substitute who reports to the Official within thirty seconds and thus can-
cels the charged time-out.

2. After the ball has been placed at the disposal of free thrower, Al, A2 notices that BI is in a
sleeper position without any guard in his vicinity. A substitute is rushed in in time to cancel
the charged time-out.

3. Near the end of a game, Al holds the ball for eight seconds in his back court and then asks for

ace Cantal a time-out. Play is resumed by awarding the ball to Al out of bounds and he is permitted ten
ball sx beck4 More seconds to advance the ball to the front court. This action is repeated several times. In
cout Lor order to prevent excess time-outs a substitute is rushed in on each occasion.

14 Second These. possible abuses of the rule are largely theoretical, especially since the thirty seconds is to
‘cai ao PS ‘art when the watch is stopped. In the last illustration, there would always be the possibility of a

held ball before the request for a time-out could be transmitted, especially if the defensive team: is
alert. If they are merely holding a zone defense under such circumstances, they probably ought to lose.

11-5. There are two slight changes in this section. In the next to the last line, the phrase "or
awarded" has been added to take care of the situation where a goal might be awarded on the last
play of a period.: In the last paragraph, the word "practice" replaces "‘practice shooting’. Some
teams interpreted the old rule to mean that they might practice passing (probably to annoy the
opponent).

13-7. This section has been reworded to cover situations which were only ambiguously covered by
questions and answers. If there is a foul by one team and between the time of that foul and the time
the watch is next started, there is a foul by the other team. Since the fouls are not simultaneous, this
is not a double foul. However, as far as resumption of play after the last free throw is concerned, the
administration is the same as for a double foul. The reason these can not be classed as a double foul

BASKETBALL INTERPRETATION MEETING BULLETINS

Published by the
NATIONAL FEDERATION OF STATE HIGH SCHOOL
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATIONS

Based on 1941-42 Official Basketball Rules

BULLETIN IV

NOTE: Fourth of a series of 5 National Federation Bulletins (1941-42)
To secure additional copies, see page 64 of Rule Book
Devote this meeting to an extensive study of several sections of the rules which include a number
of complicated provisions. The leader of the meeting may choose to appoint several assistants, each
of whom should make a careful study of the section assigned to him.

REPORT I
When Certain Acts End :
A. When does a free throw end?

(1) Ball goes in basket.

(2) Ball is touched by any player.

(3) It is evident that throw will not go in basket.

Comment: These are important in certain situations connected with when the watch shall be started
and with the number of points which must be awarded if the ball finally goes in the basket. Consider
the case where Al attempts a free throw and after the ball has touched the backboard (but not the
ring), BI leaps in the air and bats the ball against the backboard for a second time and it then falls
in the basket. The free throw ends when touched by B and, if any points were to be counted, it
would have to be for a field goal. In this particular case, the touching caused Al to commit a
violation and the ball is dead after the touching.

Here is a second situation which is affected. Al attempts free throw. While the ball is circling the
ring, A2 leaps in the air and taps it into the basket without touching the ring. If points were to be
counted, it would have to be for a field goal. However, A2 has committed a violation in accordance
under 14-12-(b) and note. Also consider the case where the ball from a free throw bounces from the
ring to the area above it when A2 taps it into the basket. When does the free throw end?

B. When does a try for field goal end?

(1) Probably under the same three circumstances as for a free throw.

Comment: These are important in connection with the question under 7-7, last paragraph of the
note under II-1, 11-5, 14-1, and 14-12 and 13.

Consider the following:

Case I: Near the end of a period Al tries for field goal and the throw is low. The signal sounds
while the ball is in the air and after the signal, the try is deflected by A2 or BI and then goes in the
basket. It has been ruled that if the touching is by A, the field goal does not count but if the touch-
ing is by B, the goal counts. From the standpoint of consistency, it is best to assume that the first try
for goal ended when the ball was touched. Under such circumstances, the touching by B constitutes
a new try and consequently it is B who makes the field goal, even though it is credited to Team A
because it fell in their basket. There is a similar situation when a try which is in the air at the time of
the signal is then touched by A2 or BI and is deflected over the backboard and out of bounds at
the end. How should the ball be put in play at the beginning of the next period? It has been ruled
(play situation 202A) that play shall be resumed by a jump between centers at the free throw line.
It may. be difficult to justify these two rulings except that it would make a bad looking situation if the
goal in the first illustration were not allowed. Also, the next to the last paragraph of Rule 7-7 makes
special provision for the counting of the field goal under such circumstances and this provision does
not apply to situations where the ball goes out of bounds.

Case 2: Al has the ball out of bounds and throws it at his own backboard. The ball circles the
ring and A2 taps it in without touching the ring. Should the goal count and to whom should it be
Grédited? If it is assumed that the first try ends when it is touched by A2, then the goal should
count and should be credited to A2. Here is a variation of this situation. The player out of bounds
throws the ball toward his own backboard and the throw is low enough so that it is touched by BI
and then continues into A's basket. Again, if it is assumed that the try by Al ended when it was
touched by B, the goal should count. This gives rise to the question of who should be credited with
such a goal. Probably the most logical way to handle such situations is to credit the goal to the
last player of the scoring team to touch the ball before the new try started, i.e., was touched by an
opponent. Consider the case where Al while out of bounds throws the ball at the opponent's back-
board and while the ball is circling the ring, A2 taps it into the basket. In this case, the goal counts
for B. If the bat by A2 is such that the ball does not go in the basket, the goal is awarded to B
because of the violation.

C. When does a play end?

On account of the indefinite nature of a play, all references to "on the same play" have been
gradually eliminated from the code. However, there are still certain procedures which depend on
what constitutes a play and when a play ends. This affects sections such as 7-10, 8-8 and I1I-l-Second
paragraph and Note.

Case I: The application to the ending of a dribble can be easily made through reference to 7-10
and to play situations 94 and 112. There is often confused thinking in connection with the distinction
between a player bringing a dribble to an end and committing a violation. Give special consideration
to play 97 and review the relationship between when a dribble ends and when a violation (if one
exists) is committed.

Case 2: In relating this question to the right of a player to return the ball to his back court, con-
sider the following: The rule states that a player may return the ball to his back court following an
out of bounds play, jump ball, etc. The question arises as to when the out of bounds play ends, i.e.,
when the return to the back court actually follows the out of bounds play and when it follows a play
which occurs after the out of bounds play ends.

Illustration: Al throws the ball from out of bounds to A2 in his back court. A2 dribbles the ball
to his front court and circles back with the dribble to bring the ball to the back court. Has the return
followed an out of bounds play and is it legal? It has been ruled (play situation 152) that this is an
illegal return. Such a ruling can be justified if it is assumed that the out of bounds play ends when
the ball is taken across the division line. The same application might be made to a jump ball play
or a try-for-field goal. Unless some such theory is adopted, it would be theoretically possible for a
try for goal to rebound to a team's back court and for Al to recover the ball, dribble it to his front
court and pass it into his back court.

Case 3: The note under II-! is quite definite with respect to when a play ends and these should
be related to the illustrations which have been mentioned.
REPORT II

Tricky Sections

Certain sections of the rules can be easily confused because situations which are somewhat similar
are affected by different sections of the rules.
WHICH VIOLATIONS OR FOULS MAY BE CALLED WHEN DISCOVERED A CONSIDERABLE
TIME AFTER THEY OCCUR?
Penalize whenever discovered:

|. Player re-enters more than 3 times.

2. Player fails to report.

3. Player changes numbers without reporting it.

4. Team takes excess time-out.

5. 6th player is on the court while ball is in play.
Do not attempt correction if infraction is discovered after watch has been started following the
infraction:

1. Al is awarded free throw and it is attempted by A2.

2. Al makes unsuccessful attempt to throw free throw in B's basket.

3. Al throws field goal in B's basket and BI throws ball in from out of bounds at the end.
For Review: Have the group check the answers below.

IN WHICH OF THESE SITUATIONS IS THE PENALTY AUTOMATICALLY DECLINED?

|. Free throw by Al is successful and BI is in lane too soon. Yes De
2. Al attempts successful free throw for technical foul and steps over free
throw line too soon. ¥ee No
3. During free throw by Al, BI pushes A2 but ball goes in basket. ¥ee No
4. On jump at free throw circle, Al taps ball in basket and BI crosses restrain-
ing circle too soon. Yes Ne
5. On jump at free throw circle Al taps ball in basket and BI leaves jumping
position before ball is tapped. Yes Ne
6. Al tries and while ball is circling ring, Bl touches net or ring but ball goes
in basket. Yes Ne
7. Al is fouled while attempting try but continues his arm motion and ball
goes in basket. ¥es No
8. On free throw by Al, BI and A2 are in the lane too soon. See No €enterball.
9. On free throw by Al, BI waves arm to disconcert the thrower but ball goes
in basket. Yes Ne
10. Free throw for technical is unsuccessful and Al steps over free throw line too soon. Yes Neo

q
A gets bel et + fe. akc ee
is that each foul carries its own number of free throws. In the case of a double foul, only one free
throw is awarded each team.

Play: Al is awarded two free throws for a personal foul. The last throw is successful and while Bl
is getting ready to throw the ball in from the end, the coach of A calls instructions. Ruling: Ball tossed
at center after B's free throw.

14-2. The phrase "or the ball" has been inserted in the third line. This is to cover a loophole
which appeared in the rules last year and which required a special interpretation. Illustration: Al at-
tempts a free throw and while the ball is in flight on its way to the basket, BI leaps in the air, taps
the ball and alights on the other side of the lane. Since a player is "not in the lane" unless he is on
or inside the lane line, there was nothing in last year's rule to prevent the act even though it was
clearly against the spirit of the rule.

Play (1): Al attempts a free throw and the ball strikes the backboard at one side of the ring. BI
leaps in the air and bats the ball after it has touched the backboard and before it has touched the
fing. Ruling: This is a legal act by BI since restriction does not apply after the ball has touched
either the ring or the backboard.

Play (2): Same as (1) except it is A2 who bats the ball and it goes through the basket. Is this
a field goal or a successful free throw? Ruling: It is neither. The act by A2 is legal but his touching

_ of the ball caused Al to commit a violation because of not touching the ring with the free throw.

Rule 15. There has been a slight reorganization of this rule. It is now in parts A and B instead of
A, B and C. In former years, the sections dealing with coaching from the sidelines, baiting Officials,
etc. were given a separate classification. In reality, they belong under technical fouls. The two
logical parts of the rule are "Technical Fouls'* ‘and “Personal Fouls''. Divisions A and B are now
shown in proper coordination and the headings for Sections | through 6 and for 7 and 8 are now
shown to be coordinated.

Another change in arrangement makes one penalty cover Sections | through 6. In former years, a
separate penalty was provided for Section 6. The penalty for Sections 7 and 8 has been reworded to
bé consistent with the wording of other penalties. There is no change in meaning.

15-1 1-Penalties (c) and (f). Theoretically it is possible for five double fouls to occur at about
the same time and it is also possible that all of these might be flagrant. Under such circumstances
there might have been doubt in past years as to whether only one free throw should have been awarded
each team or whether two free throws should have been awarded each team or whether five or ten
should have been awarded. Under the present definition and the present penalty (c), it is clear that
if this should occur, five free throws should be awarded each team.

There is a similar situation in connection with several fouls by the same team. It is theoretically
possible for all five players of one team to flagrantly foul opponents at about the same time. Under .
the current rules, it is clear that one free throw should be awarded for each of these fouls, i.e., five
free throws.

Play: Al flagrantly fouls BI while he is in the act of throwing for goal. At about the same time,
A2 flagrantly fouls B2. How many free throws should be awarded Team A? Ruling: Two free throws,
i.e., one for each foul.

This may not be equitable, since a possible field goal by Al was prevented. However, the rule is
in line with the policy of eliminating cases where many free throws may be tried in succession. It is
also consistent with the rule which has always been in force in connection with a double foul when
one of the players was in the act of throwing for goal. There are many complicated situations in
connection with these multiple fouls and the present rule seems to be the lesser of several evils. At
least it is specific and settles a number of disputed points.

there is a slight difference in the spot of enforcement and there is also the possibility that the
illegally returned ball will be recovered by B so that no penalty will be enforced.

Play: A\ is in possession in his back court and passes the ball in the back court parallel with the
division line. BI stands in A's front court and reaches through the plane of the division line to touch
the pass which continues on to A2 who is in his back court. Has the ball been in the front court?
Ruling: Under last year's wording, the ball was not in the front court and since the ball was not out
of control of Team A, the count continued. Under this year's wording the ball is in the front court
when it touches B and a new count starts when A2 secures control.

8-10. The second sentence of the second paragraph has been reworded.

1941-42 Wording
"When such a foul occurs at the end of the
first or third quarter of a game played in quar-

ters, or during the intermission following the ters, or when a foul occurs during the intermis-

first or third quarter, the free throw shall be sion following the first or third quarter, the free
attempted at the beginning of the next quarter, throw shall be attempted at the beginning of
etc." the next quarter, etc."

It is obvious that the wording of previous years was inaccurate-since there could not be "such a
foul’ during an intermission.

9-1. The answer has been reworded. Last year's wording was ''No; if the mistake is discovered be-
fore play is resumed, etc.'' This wording led to the mistaken notion that the free throw goal counted
for the opponents, if the mistake was not discovered until later. As a matter of fact, such a throw
never counts for the opponents. The new wording makes this clear.

Play: Al is awarded a free throw and, through error, he throws the free throw into his opponent's
basket. The error is discovered at the end of the period and is called to the attention of the Official.
Ruling: The point should count for the player who made the successful free throw. This applies if
discovery is made and verified any time before the final score is announced.

9-3. The last part of the second paragraph has been reworded. There is no change in meaning.
In past years there was some misunderstanding relative to whether the two necessary points required
to end the game might be accumulated in two or more of the extra periods following the first. The
new ruling makes it clear that it is not necessary to secure both of these points in one of the extra
periods.

Play: A game ends with the score 30-30 and the first extra period ends in a tie 33-33. In the
second extra period, Al scores only one point so that the second extra period ends A34-B33. In the
first minute of the third extra period, Team A scores one point on a free throw. Is the game ended
immediately? Ruling: Yes.

10-1. This has been rewritten (see Bulletin III) but procedure is the same. There is a slight change
in the note.

Last Year's Wording 1941-42 Wording

"When the margin out of bounds free from
obstructions is less than three feet, no player of
either team shall be within three feet of the
player who is putting the ball in play. On such
courts a fine broken line should be drawn in
the court three feet from the boundary line."

"When the unobstructed space outside the
boundary lines is less than three feet, a narrow
broken line should be drawn in the court parallel
with and three feet inside the boundary lines.
When such three-foot restraining line is used,
it shall be treated the same as a boundary line,
etc."

Play: AI has the ball out of bounds at the side. BI takes a position inside the three-foot restrain-

ing line but B2 and B3 take positions more than three feet from Al but in the area between the
restraining line and the boundary line. Ruling: These players are considered the same as if they were
out of bounds. The Referee has authority to call a technical foul or if a technical foul is not called,
and the throw-in touches one of these players while in such position, the ball is again awarded to Al.

10-2. The question under this section, in slightly different form, appeared last year under 10-1.
There is no change in meaning.

Des Moines, Iowa »

Dear Lyle,

I have your favor of the lst instent regarding officiating,
and I am happy to hear from yous. I am taking your letter to
Kansas. City with me tomorrow morning at which time our Big
Six basketball coaches meet in session with the Commissioner, —
Reaves Peters. Reaves is making the appointments for the con-
ference, but we, as coaches, list the officials in the order
of their efficiency as we see them.

I will be clad to recommend your name to the group and I am
hoping that we can use you next year. We coaches are arranging
our 1942-43 basketball schedule tomorrow. If Louis Menze and
Lenandowski, the two northern members will recommend you, I am
sure that I will put your name among the top ones and give you .
@ chance. / ;

I know that you will be in Kansas City tomorrow, so I will look
you up and have you meet the other Big Six coaches with a view to
having you work some of our gamese We also play Creighton and

the Oklahoma Aggies, so if you work for any of the Missouri Valley
people, I will be glad to have you work one of our games with those
fellows. —

With all good wishes I am

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation

Dear Doctor Allen:

For the past ten or twelve years, the writer has been officiating high
school basketball and high school football contest here in Iowa. He
has succeeded in building up a very fine officiating schedule, working
as many as ninety basketball games during the season and twenty to
twenty-two football contests. He also officiated for some of the col-
leges, members of the Iowa conferences and was one of the two officials
working the State Junior College Basketball Tournament last spring.

 

 

Since March 11, 1941, he was appointed Manager of the Iowa High School
Athletic Association and given the responsibility of acting not only as
Commissioner of Offficials for high schools in. Iowa, but also the regu-
lar duties befalling Manager of the State High School Athletic Associ-

fn ation. He has, therefore, deemed it advisable to refrain from officiat=
ing any more high school contests and hence, he is quite anxious to be=-
come established as an official in the Big Six and Missouri Valley, in
addition to his work in the Iowa conference.

 

I would certainly appreciate anything that you could do to help me or
to tip me off as to what I could do in order to qualify for officiating
in the Big Six Missouri Valley.

While I have been forced to cancel all my high school games, I do have
a nice schedule of Iowa College Conference games for this coming winter
to officiate.

I hope that I will look forward to seeing you at Kansas City.

 

 

Yours very truly,

Ce hacen!
