InTheGates Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 List your Top 5 Misunderstood Rules in HS Basketball by Crazy Fans 1 - DUH..."That is BackCourt Ref!"...90% have no clue what backcourt really may be! 2- Fans don't understand that you do not have to be "Set" to take a charge 3- A 10 second call does not start over by a tip or deflection 4- A kicked ball must be intentional! 5- Fans do not understand when players can enter lane on a Free Throw! ("Come on Ref...They are in the lane early!") Quote
DXTR Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 It doesn't matter what the call is. If they favor your team (good call). If they go against your team (bad call). Ferg 510 and AthleticSupporter - Jock 2 Quote
KHSAlum400 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 1. A "moving" screen. 2. The number one fan call... "3 SECONDS IN THE LANE REF!" (yelled as loud as possible) Quote
TxHoops Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 By far, "over the back". No such rule... BunaCougars, Fighting Llama, Team Game and 4 others 7 Quote
TrustTheProcess Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 One that's always good for an argument, especially in pick-up ball, is whether the top of the backboard is in or out of bounds. Quote
Chester86 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 Number one!!!!!!!! The "tie-up" / jump ball. They got hacked to death as the reaches in for it.....but they call it all the time. Quote
ballup Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 Diving on the floor for a loose ball. Fans yelling it's a travel Hagar 1 Quote
MBaller#1 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 How about when teams are swinging the ball around and a player catches the ball hesitates and drives to the goal they always call traveling. CATMAN 1 Quote
Honest Abe Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 When a player shoots an air ball and gets his own rebound...NOT traveling. Quote

If they go against your team (bad call). Not true in all cases, that sounds like ref speak for excuse to call whatever. A bad call is a bad call. I personally think they ought to eliminate about half the rules or simply them to the point of being "obvious" to promote consistency. Traveling is a good example, who cares if a player shuffles a pivot foot 3/4 inch before they dribble? Sure if they just start walking then it's obvious, but I see this "shuffle" travel called all the time, it's petty and senseless. Then same ref will let hand checks go all night. Ball hitting top of backboard (not fixture). Is it out of bounds or not? Ball OVER clearly is, but bouncing on top and back in play is unclear. Quote

If it hits something (like a cord or bar) that is not part of the backboard, it is a dead ball. But the top of the backboard is not out of play. KHSAlum400 and CATMAN 2 Quote
Hagar Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 Compared to most on here, I'm a basketball rookie. The one that is totally out of my comprehension is the player with the ball on the floor. I don't know the exact rule, and I see no consistency in the calls. Some seem to move a lot & get no call, others barely move & get called. Is there a short, clear, explanation? Quote

It SHOULD be one of those spirit of the rule things, is the player trying to get up with the ball? Is the player trying to advance the ball? Somebody will quote the rule song and verse, but at the end of the day you're right it's just not called with any degree of consistency. Hagar 1 Quote

That's what I thought, but saw it called tonight just bouncing off the top back toward the lane creating a change of possession (and a no-bucket after it was rebounded and put back) at a critical point in a game that ended up being a 2 point game. I've seen it several times this season. Do refs have to go to training or even read the rule book? Quote

Lazeek Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 You are allowed to gain control of a loose ball and slide That is not a travel An attempt to get up off the floor or roll over (to gain an advantage) would be a travel TeamJagUS, InTheGates and Tigers2010 3 Quote

This thread should be changed to "Top 5 things fans SCREAM that drive ME crazy. Or anyone else that actually knows basketball. This one that you mentioned ^ is far and away one of the biggest reasons I can't stand going to high school basketball games. When I hear/see someone yell "OVER THE BACK!" I literally want to walk up to them and slap them in the face. Yes...no such call. It's either a push, or nothing. I can't stand that people don't realize when position isn't established in rebounding then it is literally a jump ball. And someone can legally jump higher than or over another player and grab a rebound as long as contact isn't made. My biggest pet peeve for sure. Another one for me is when a referee calls traveling on a kid that does a Euro step. Oh.. and almost forgot. "FOLLOW YOUR SHOT!" Yeah that one drives me crazy too. 1st...what chance do you think a kid has of making a jumpshot if they literally sprint to the rim after release?.. 2nd...If you suck so bad at shooting that you know you need to run to the rim to get the rebound... Then you don't need to be shooting. Sorry not sorry. Honest Abe and CATMAN 2 Quote
