2

Open you workbook to Shift 1 and Shift 2 Self-assessments. In small groups, share the best call you witnessed during the week and why

Who would like to share their good calls?

Everyone needs to change groups. Now share the worst call you witnessed and what area of CRAMP was the cause of the worst call

Every person needs to share their worst call and the cause of the error.

REFLECTION FROM FIRST WEEK

3

VIOLATIONS• What do I need to focus on?• What are the rules?

4

What needs to happen for the ball to be out of bounds?

1. Ball or player with the ball touches an object outside of the court (including coaches, spectators, chairs, lights, etc.)

2. Ball or player with the ball touches the sideline or baseline

3. Ball or player with the ball touches a player or referee who has a part of their body in contact with the sideline or baseline

4. A player is airborne and the last place they touched was an out of bounds area

OUT OF BOUNDS

5

OUT OF BOUNDS

66

Who made some out of bounds calls during the week?

Who made some incorrect calls?

How did you know they were wrong? What will you do next time to avoid the same mistake?

You are required to watch the following videos and create your own definition of travelling.

Consider the following in your definition:• Pivot foot.• Standing player.• Moving player.• The importance of the ball. 7

TRAVEL Form a group of 3 – 4 people

13

What is your group’s definition of a travel?

What was similar with each group’s definition?

What was different with some of the definitions?

8

TRAVEL

13

What is a pivot foot? How is it established?

If a player lifts and replaces or moves their pivot foot without dribbling, shooting or passing the ball it is a travel.

9

PIVOT FOOT

Is a player allowed to roll with the ball? Discuss with your group.

Is a player allowed to slide with the ball? Discuss with your group.

What if a shot is blocked back to an airborne player and he lands with the ball?

TRAVEL

11

ASSESSMENT

12

By the end of this course, to be assessed as competent you will need to call blatant travels. This does not mean every travel, but you need to call the obvious travels.

This week on court you should be calling some travel calls. We do not expect you to get them all, but have a go. You have nothing to lose.

You will be assessing yourself with your mentor’s help each week.

DOUBLE DRIBBLE

In small groups discuss what you think the definition of the double dribble rule is. Write it down in your booklets.

Consider the following in your definition:• Starting and ending a dribble.• Movement of the ball.• The carry rule. 13

14

ASSESSMENT

14

By the end of this course, to be assessed as competent you will need to call blatant double dribbles. This does not mean every double dribble, but you need to call the obvious ones.

This week on court you should be calling some double dribble calls. We do not expect you to get them all, but have a go. You have nothing to lose.

You will be assessing yourself with your mentor’s help each week.

We will briefly cover all other violations.

You will not be assessed on your ability to call these violations, however, if you see them then you should have a go at calling them.

During the game, the ball is played with the hand(s) only.

A player is not allowed to:• Deliberately block the ball with any part of the leg (foot

violation). If it is accidental then it is not a violation.• Strike the ball with a fist.

HOW THE BALL IS PLAYED

16

When is this rule used?

Offensive players cannot stand in their key for more than three seconds if:• The ball is in the frontcourt.• A shot has not been attempted (or has left the hands in a

shot attempt).• The ball has not been inbounded.• The offensive player is not attempting to leave the key.

A player must have both feet in contact with the court outside of the key to be considered outside the key.

3 SECOND VIOLATION

17

The 5 second violation rule occurs three times:

1. To leave the hands of a player attempting to inbound the ball.

2. To release the ball on a free-throw attempt.

3. To pass, shoot or dribble the ball if closely guarded (this means a defensive player is within 1 metre and actively guarding).

Also some associations will have 5 seconds in the key for age groups at U12’s and younger.

5 SECOND VIOLATION

18

Before you can learn about 8 second violations and ball returning to the backcourt, you will need to know when the ball is in the frontcourt.

The ball is in the frontcourt when:• During a dribble from the backcourt into the frontcourt, both

feet of the dribbler and the ball are in contact with the frontcourt at the same time.

• A non-dribbler has both feet in contact with the frontcourt.• It touches a player who has both feet in the frontcourt.• It touches a part of the frontcourt or an official who has part

of their body in contact with the frontcourt.

FRONTCOURT

19

The count begins:

• When a player gains control of the ball in his backcourt.

• On a throw-in, when the ball touches any player in the backcourt and the team who attempted the throw-in remain in control of the ball in its backcourt.

The count ends when the ball moves into the frontcourt or a defensive player takes control of the ball.

The count resets when a foul is called.

The count will continue without a reset as a result of the ball going out-of bounds or a jump ball situation.

8 SECOND VIOLATION

20

Also known as “crosscourt”.

The following have to occur for a violation to occur:

1. A player from Team A has to control a live ball in the frontcourt.

2. A player from Team A must be the last player to touch the ball in the frontcourt.

3. A player from Team A must be the first player to touch the ball in the backcourt.

BALL RETURNED TO THE BACKCOURT

TRAIL REFEREE

24

In trail you are expected to:

• Get across to the split line to cover the players in area 3.

• Penetrate on every shot and drive to the free throw line extended and the three point line (if no players are in the way).

• Watch your areas

LEAD REFEREE

25

In lead you are expected to:

• Have one foot inside the extended line of the edge of the key on shots (except from area 4) and drives to the basket.

• Be as wide as the ball when it is near the sideline in area 3 or so you can judge the gap in area 4.

• Watch your areas

Always remember your training booklet so you can fill out your log book with your mentor at the conclusion of your shift

Each shift you will fill out the following with your mentor
