Welcome to the Jungle! You will do great, I have officiated for 7 years and these videos help polish my craft of officiating. Best of luck this year to you!
I'm a 23 and a half year old guy who played basketball his whole life from ages 9-18.. played AAU for years and high school level (as high up as a varsity starting point guard) so i feel i have a great grasp on basketball and it's rules... Should i look to become a ref? im seriously considering it.. How would i go about starting?
Contact your local officials association, anyone who works in AAU or high school basketball in your area should be able to direct you in the right area. There is a shortage for refs right now, it's a great time to start.
Yes. We need younger guys working. BUT…don’t go into thinking you know everything. I did that and was humbled quickly by how nuance of the game from the officials point of view differs from that of a player. Look up your state high school sports governing body, and look for a phone number and call. That’s a good way to start.
Yes. Calling official stays tableside. In your pregame, discuss what happens if the calling official needs to "leave the burning building" and get away from an angry coach or bench personnel, where staying tableside could result in someone getting hit with a technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct.
No, Examples-- 8:50 Tableside foul by lead. With NFHS, lead and trail swap positions. 9:45 Tableside Trail Foul. Trial reports and administers throw-in. 10:22 Tableside Center Foul... C become Tableside T & L moves to tableside, Trail administers throw-in, and so on... Basically, Tableside Trail swaps with calling official on fouls
This is IAABO 3-person mechanics. These mechanics are used in states where there are IAABO boards. This is part 1 of a 2-part training video. Part 2 does include tableside switches, as in NFHS. Some IAABO boards, such as those in Maryland, do use tableside switches, so they are included in Part 2 of the video and as a separate section in the IAABO Manual that all members of IAABO get.
This is not for FIBA. This is International Association of Approved Basketball Officials (IAABO), and it covers National Federation of State High Schools (NFHS) rules And mechanics, with some modifications from the NFHS guide.
Fully agreed. It would be so much smarter to just have everyone rotate to their right or something. All of these switches muddy up a lot and don't make a ton of sense with their logic. Some do, but the majority don't.
this is an excellent training video, but new officials be sure to check your state book for any mechanics changes since 2016.
First year official that missed the first couple training classes. These videos were a lifesaver! Thank you!

CORRECTION: During pre game the U1 watches the home team and the U2 watches the visitors. See IAABO 3 person mechanics

contact your high school AD. They should have a direct line to who you need to speak to.
DO IT
Nice 3-person officiating mechanics Sham!
Coverage areas are not accurate. If play originates in font of C, take it, but I don't put a C in charge of half the paint
In NFHS in the 3-man any official calling a foul should always remain tableside correct?
Yes. Calling official stays tableside. In your pregame, discuss what happens if the calling official needs to "leave the burning building" and get away from an angry coach or bench personnel, where staying tableside could result in someone getting hit with a technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Incorrect. NFHS- After reporting the foul the calling official goes opposite the table.
I like most of this, but what's the purpose of announcing "designated spot"??? What about "White, tableside sideline," or "Blue, baseline/endline???
Is this NFHS compliant?
No, Examples-- 8:50 Tableside foul by lead. With NFHS, lead and trail swap positions. 9:45 Tableside Trail Foul. Trial reports and administers throw-in. 10:22 Tableside Center Foul...

These switches make zero sense
