RULING: Te ocials were correct in using the monitor to determine

i a fagrant 2 oul occurred. Tis oul shall be penalized because thefagrant 2 oul was recognized by the ocials during the rst dead ballater the oul.

In (1), the oul occurred when the game clock was SOPPED and theball was DEAD because the ball had not yet been placed at the disposalo eam B or the throw-in. When it is determined that a fagrant 2technical oul occurred, A1 shall be assessed a fagrant 2 technicaloul and ejected.

at a designated spot at the division line on either side o the playingcourt (women) at the point o interruption, which was where play wasstopped to review the monitor or the fagrant 2 technical oul.

When it was deemed that the fagrant 2 technical oul did not occur, acontact dead ball technical oul may be assessed to A1. In such a case,two ree throws are awarded to the oended player (B1) and play shallresume (men) at the division line and (women) where the play wasstopped to review the act with a throw-in to the oended team.

Immediately ater the dead ball caused by the violation or suc-cessul score, the reeree notices that B2 is bleeding and stops


20/102


play Te ocials decide to use the monitor to determine i aght caused the bleeding

RULING: Te ocials were correct to use the monitor to determine i a

ght occurred. Upon review o the play, it is determined that a ght didoccur. Since the ght occurred while the game clock was running, thestatute o limitation to penalize the ght is beore the second live ballater the ght occurred.

In (1), A2 committed a fagrant 2 personal against B2 while the clockwas running. Ater the oul, B1s successul eld goal created the rstdead ball as the ball became dead immediately ater the score while theclock continued to run. Tereater, the rst live ball was created whenthe ball was at the disposal o eam A or a throw-in. When the throw-in was completed and A1 committed a violation, the second dead ball

was created. Beore the ball became live on the subsequent throw-in,the ocials reviewed the play and observed the ght.

In (2), A2 committed a fagrant 2 personal against B2 while the clockwas running. Ater the oul, B1s successul eld goal created the rstdead ball as the ball became dead immediately ater the score while theclock continued to run. Te rst live ball was then created when theball was at the disposal o eam A or a throw-in. Te second dead balloccurred immediately ater A1s successul goal. Beore the ball becamelive on the subsequent throw-in, the ocials stopped play, reviewed theplay and observed the ght.

In both cases, the ght was observed beore the second live ball aterthe ght so the ght shall be penalized. Player A2 shall be assessed afagrant 2 personal oul, charged with ghting, ejected and is subjectto suspension. Te oul counts toward the team oul total. wo reethrows shall be awarded to the oended player (B2) and play shallresume where the play was stopped to review the act with a throw-in tothe oended team.

When it is determined that the oul was not a ght but a fagrant 2act, a fagrant 2 personal oul may be assessed. Tis oul counts towardthe team oul total. In such a case, two ree throws shall be awarded to

the oended player (B2) and play shall be resumed where the play wasstopped to review the act. Player A2 shall be ejected but is not subjectto suspension.

When it is determined that the oul was not a ght or a fagrant 2personal oul, a fagrant 1 personal oul may be assessed to A2. In sucha case, two ree throws are awarded to the oended player (B2) andplay shall resume where the play was stopped to review the act with athrow-in to the oended team.

When the act was not deemed to be a ght, or a fagrant 2 personaloul, or a fagrant 1 personal oul or the act occurred outside the statute

review the oul using the monitor to determine i the oul was a fagrant 2 per-sonal oul Te ocial reviews the monitor to see i a fagrant 2 personal ouloccurred on the play and upon review sees that the illegal contact was actuallymade below the shoulders Is the ocial permitted to change the reportedfagrant 1 personal oul to a common oul? Is eam B charged with a timeoutbecause a fagrant 2 personal oul did not occur?

RULING: While the ocials are permitted to review the monitor to seei a fagrant 2 personal oul or (women) a fagrant 1 personal oul or il-legal elbow contact above the shoulders o an opponent occurred, Rule2-13.2.d.1 states that when it is determined that a fagrant 2 personaloul did not occur but a fagrant 1 personal or a contact dead ball tech-nical oul did occur, those ouls can be penalized, but no other inrac-tions may be penalized. When the ocial reports a fagrant 1 personaloul, that oul can be reviewed until the ball becomes live, but whenit is discovered that neither a fagrant 1 nor fagrant 2 oul occurred,the reported oul cannot be downgraded to a common oul. Since thecoach requested a review or a possible fagrant 2 personal oul and nosuch oul occurred, eam B is charged a timeout.

B completes a throw-in and while the ball is in control o eamB, the ocials see that B2 is injured and stop play Because theocials have a plausible reason to believe that a fagrant 2 oul mayhave occurred, they choose to review the severity o the oul usingthe courtside monitor

RULING: When the ocials ail to observe the fagrant act, the moni-tor may be used to review the act.

Ater the fagrant 2 technical oul by A2, the ball became live when theball was at the disposal o eam A (rst live ball). Ater eam A com-pleted the throw-in, they committed a violation, creating the rst dead

ball ater the oul. Ater this violation, the second live ball occurredwhen the ball was at the disposal o eam B or a throw-in. eam Bcompleted this throw-in then play was stopped to review the play.Upon review o the play, the ocials observed the fagrant 2 techni-cal oul by A2. However, the statute o limitations had expired whenthe ball became live or the second time ater the oul and thereorethe act shall not be penalized. Te statute o limitation to penalize theght was during the rst dead ball ater the oul. Play shall be resumed

where play was stopped to review the play. Since the statute o limita-tions to penalize the ght had expired, the oul cannot be penalized

during the game. Play shall be resumed where play was stopped toreview the play.

When the ocials discover that A1s elbowillegally contacted B1 above the shoulders and they are within the timerame to penalize this oul, they shall assess A1 with a fagrant 2 per-sonal oul and A1 shall be ejected. Since the review o the oul occurredduring the rst dead ball period ollowing the illegal contact by A1,the ocials are within the legal time rame to penalize this fagrant 2personal oul. B1 will shoot two ree throws or the fagrant 2 personaloul charged to A1 with no players on the marked lane spaces. Follow-

ing these ree throws:(1) Play will be resumed with a throw-in to eam B or the fagrant2 personal oul at a designated spot nearest to where the held balloccurred (the point o interruption). Te throw-in is or the fagrant2 personal oul and not an alternating-possession throw-in so thealternating-possession arrow will not be reversed when the throw-inends.

(2) B2 is awarded one ree throw with no players in the marked lanespaces. Following this ree throw, play will be resumed with a throw-in to eam B or the fagrant 2 personal oul under eam Bs basket,

RULING: Te ocials may use the monitor to determine i a fagrant2 personal oul or (women) a fagrant 1 personal oul or illegal elbowcontact above the shoulders o the opponent occurred against B1 whenthey were not looking. When the ocials determine that this illegalcontact by A1 is not a fagrant 2 personal oul, but is a fagrant 1personal oul and they are within the time rame to penalize this oul,the ocials may assess a fagrant 1 personal oul. Since the review othe oul occurred during the rst dead ball period ollowing the illegalcontact by A1, they are within the legal time rame to penalize this oul.Player B1 will shoot two ree throws or the fagrant 1 personal oulcharged to A1 with no players on the marked lane spaces.

or the personal oul, the coach rom eam A inorms the ocialsthat B5 committed a fagrant 2 oul against A5 At this time, theocials choose to use the monitor to:

(1) Review the original personal and contact dead ball technicaloul to determine i either o them was a fagrant 2 oul; or

(2) Determine i a fagrant 2 technical oul occurred when theywere not looking

Are the ocials correct to use the monitor?

RULING: (1) No. When the ball was placed at the disposal o the ree-

thrower to shoot the ree throws or the contact dead ball technical oulagainst B1, the ball became live. When the ball became live, the periodto review the personal and technical ouls has ended.

(Rule 2-13.2.d.1.a)

(2) Yes. Te ocials MAY use the monitor to determine i a fagrant 2contact technical oul occurred. Using the replay equipment, the o-cials reviewed the game until they discovered that B5 committed a fa-grant 2 contact technical oul against A5. Tis oul occurred when theclock was stopped while the ocials assessed the personal and contactdead ball technical oul to B1. Since B5s fagrant 2 contact technicaloul against A5 occurred when the clock was stopped, the ocials haveuntil the rst dead ball ater the clock was properly started to penalizethe act. In this play, the clock has not started since B5s fagrant 2 act;thereore, the fagrant 2 contact technical oul by B5 shall be penalized.Player B5 shall be ejected. eam A shall be awarded two ree throws orthe fagrant technical oul by B5 and awarded the ball or a throw-in

Is the ocial correct?

RULING: Te ocial is permitted to use the courtside monitor sinceit is plausible that a fagrant 2 oul or (women) a fagrant 1 personalor illegal elbow contact above the shoulders o an opponentmay haveoccurred. In reviewing the play on the monitor, the ocial ascertained

that a fagrant 2 personal oul occurred during a live ball and while theclock was running. Te ocials deemed the oul to be a ght since it

was a conrontational/combative act by A3. Te ocial shall eject A3or ghting, notiy the coach, report the ght to the scorer, penalize thefagrant 2 personal oul by awarding two ree throws to B3 and resumeplay by awarding the ball to eam B at a designated spot nearest to
