“New” Rule 9-1-3h

It isn’t new . . . was the rule from 1993-1998

Last Year’s POE #3 . . . (p.69, 15/16 Rules Book)

Uses familiar rule concepts (9-1 PENALTIES 2a,2b; 8-1-3; 4-20-1)

Addresses what is apparently a problem in some area(s)

OUR AIM: Learn it Learn how to identify it when needs to be called Learn how to adjudicate it when it happens Learn how to employ preventative officiating for it

ADJUDICATION QUESTION: A defensive lane-space player commits an obvious lane violation. What is the covering official’s immediate reaction?

Exactly the Same with New Rule 9-1-3h -- It’s Merely Another Lane Violation --

Only “Scary” Issues: 1) Whose plate is now a little more full? (***) 2) What happens if that early-entry lane space

player fouls the free-thrower? (not new…)

1. Covering official has a lot on the plate -- Can’t afford to make FT time a personal time-out

A. Initial Position B. Watch Assigned Players C. Count D. Step Down on Release of Last FT E. Arm Up to Chop the

Clock F. Watch FT Line and Related Players G. (2P) Glance Up to Rim H. Surveil Rebounding Action

2) What happens if the FT’er is fouled?

THE ORDER OF THINGS

DELAYED VIOLATION, THEN FOUL: 1. Substitute free throw, if nec. (8-3-1?) 2. “Finish the first foul” as necessary (8-3-1?) 3. “Penalize the last foul” as required

FOUL FOLLOWING 9-1-3h VIOLATION PLAY 1: A1 is shooting the front end of a bonus. B1, on the lane line, aggressively enters the lane and penetrates the FT line (semi-circle) before the throw hits the rim on a miss, and B1 also makes contact with the thrower for a foul. So you have a replacement FT for the violation on entering the semi-circle. A1 also got fouled so is entitled to yet another bonus. Clear the lane lines and have A1 shoot the replacement first shot for the original bonus. Once that sequence is compete, populate the lane lines for the second bonus sequence.

FOUL FOLLOWING 9-1-3h VIOLATION

PLAY 2: B11 is in a marked lane space after free thrower A1 releases a final free-throw attempt. B11 enters the free-throw semicircle before the ball strikes the ring, contacting A1, whose free-throw attempt is unsuccessful. The officials rule a foul on B11 and award A1 bonus free throws as B11’s foul is the eighth team foul. RULING: The officials were correct to rule a foul on B11–illegal contact occurred. However, they were incorrect to only award bonus free throws. B11 committed a delayed free-throw violation and A1 should have been given a substitute free throw with the lane cleared prior to the administration of the bonus free throws. Play resumes with the result of A1’s bonus free throws.

FOUL FOLLOWING 9-1-3h VIOLATION PLAY 3: After A1 releases the ball on a free throw try, B1 steps into the lane and backs across the free-throw line to box out the free-throw shooter then makes contact (more than incidental) with the free-throw shooter. The free throw is missed. RULING: The official should rule a delayed violation on the opponent. A1 will be awarded a substitute free throw and the contact is ruled a foul. The substitute free throw would be administered with the free-throw lane spaces unoccupied.

Following an Injury

UNANNOUNCED CHANGES: 4-42-5a??? 9.12B???

We await the upcoming NFHS Rules Interpretations for

clarification on these apparent errors in the books

4-42-5a was: The throw-in ends when: a. The passed ball touches or is legally touched by another player inbounds. 4-42-5a now is: The throw-in ends when: a. The passed ball touches or is touched by another player inbounds. (the corresponding Casebook SITUATION 4.42.5 remains unchanged)

Old 9.12B: On the second of two free-throw attempts by A1, the ball is touched outside the cylinder by A2. RULING: The ball became dead immediately when A2 moved into the lane prematurely. Therefore, the goaltending is ignored. The lane violation cancels the free throw and Team B will throw-in from a designated spot outside the end line. (9-1 Penalty 1) New 9.12B: On the second of two free-throw attempts by A1, the ball is touched outside the cylinder by A2. RULING: No points can be scored A2’s actions are ruled a violation. B will be given the ball for a throw-in on the sideline at the free-throw line extended. (9-1 Penalty 1)
