NFHS Basketball 2014-15 Rules Changes
In General, the Rules Committee believe that the playing rules of Basketball are in good condition. The proposals presented and approved are considered to be enhancements to the existing rules.

Arm sleeves, knee sleeves, lower leg sleeves and tights are permissible (3-5-3)
Anything worn on the arm and/or leg is a sleeve, except a knee brace, and shall meet the color restrictions. The sleeves/tights shall be black, white, beige or the predominant color of the uniform and the same color sleeves/tights shall be worn by teammates. Anything worn on the arm and/or leg is a sleeve, except a knee brace, and shall meet the color restrictions. The sleeves/tights shall be black, white, beige or the predominant color of the uniform and the same color sleeves/tights shall be worn by teammates.

Arm sleeves, knee sleeves, lower leg sleeves and tights are permissible (3-5-3)
All sleeves/tights shall be the same solid color. Meet the logo requirements – not to exceed 2 ¼ square inches with no dimension more than 2 ¼ inches. Note: In general, a brace is defined as anything that contains hinges and/or straps or an opening over the knee cap. All sleeves/tights shall be the same solid color. Meet the logo requirements – not to exceed 2 ¼ square inches with no dimension more than 2 ¼ inches. Note: In general, a brace is defined as anything that contains hinges and/or straps or an opening over the knee cap.

Team Member’s Apparel Rule 3-5-3
The player in each of the PlayPics is legal in wearing arm or leg sleeve or tights for no medical reason. Taking away the need for a medical excuse took away the potential for false information to be given. Arm, knee and lower-leg sleeves, and tights, are permissible without a medical reason as long as they meet the rules book specifications .

Team Member’s Apparel Rule 3-5-3
Player 2 in the first PlayPic is illegally dressed because the sleeves and tights are not of the same color. In PlayPic 2, Player 2 and Player 3 are wearing sleeves and tightsd of the same color, which makes them legally dressed. All players of the team must have the same color sleeves or tights, if worn. ILLEGAL LEGAL

NCHSAA Pilot Program NFHS granted North Carolina a 2-year provision to fully implement uniform/apparel guidelines. There is no set NFHS penalty for non-compliance by rule for sleeves/head bands/wrist bands/tights. State Championship – pink head bands with black uniform…Skylar Diggins head bands.

NFHS Pilot Program Head coach is responsible for legality of equipment. NEW RULE for North Carolina: Year one: Teams not in compliance: Administrative technical foul assessed to head coach 2 free-throws for opponent Ball at division line for opponent Team foul assessed to offending team

NFHS Pilot Program NEW RULE for North Carolina
Year two: Teams not in compliance: Direct technical foul assessed to head coach 2 free throws for opponent Ball at division line for opponent Team foul assessed to offending team Loss of coaches box for game One of two direct technical fouls allowed for head coach

PlayPic 2 – extended arm bar on the dribbler must be ruled a foul every time PlayPic 3 – contacting the ball handler more than once with one hand or alternating hands must be ruled a foul every time. In each of these situations, officials must make the ruling every time to stop the practice of the illegal use of the hands. Coaches will teach the players to back away from the use of the hands if the ruling is consistently made. A personal foul is must be ruled when illegal contact occurs on a player holding or dribbling the ball.

NFHS Basketball 2014-15 Points of Emphasis
Points of Emphasis are chosen to give extra attention to issues where it is most needed.

Announcer Responsibilities
The announcer shall be prohibited from making an announcement: while the clock is running and while the clock is stopped and the ball is live…such as during a free throw, a throw in, etc. Doing so could potentially affect communication between coaches and players or be disconcerting.

The announcer’s role does not include “cheering the home team on” or otherwise inciting the crowd. Doing so is common at other levels of athletic events. But high school athletics is different because sports are educationally based. In a very real sense, the public address announcer at a high school event is a “Champion of Character”.

Correctable Error: Officials may correct an error if a rule is inadvertently set aside and results in: Failure to award a merited free throw. Awarding an unmerited free throw. Permitting a wrong player to attempt a free throw. Attempting a free throw at the wrong basket. Erroneously counting or cancelling a score.

Correctable Errors The process for recognizing and making a correctable error: If the error is made during a dead ball, it must be recognized by an official no later than the first dead ball after the clock has properly started. If the error is made while the clock is running and the ball dead, it must recognized by an official before the second live ball. Five errors are recognized in the rules book. Officials are granted the power within a certain window of time to make these corrections.

Frontcourt and Backcourt Ball Status:
The status of the ball when considering whether it is in the frontcourt or backcourt is determined by the location of the object that the ball last touched inbounds as long as there is team control inbounds, be it a player, official or the playing court. The determination of the status of the ball when considering whether it is in the front or backcourt is determined by the location of object that the ball last touched inbounds as long as there is team control inbounds, be it a player, official or the playing court.

Frontcourt and Backcourt Status
The location of a player is determined by where the player is touching the floor or, in the case of the airborne player, where the player was last in contact with the floor. The location of a player is determined by where the player is touching the floor or, in the case of the airborne player, where the player was last in contact with the floor.

Ball Status When an airborne player gains possession of the ball during a throw in or a jump ball, the player is considered to have no status as related to frontcourt or backcourt if he/she (and only that player) returns to the floor possessing the ball. The location where he/she lands will determine the location of the player and the ball. When an airborne player gains possession of the ball during a throw in or a jump ball, the player is considered to have no status as related to frontcourt or backcourt if he/she (and only that player) returns to the floor possessing the ball. The location where he/she lands will determine the location of the player and the ball.

Frontcourt or backcourt status of the ball cannot be established until a player gains control of the ball during a throw-in or a jump ball. The location of the player when control of the ball is gained determines frontcourt or backcourt status of the ball. Until a player gains control of the ball during a throw-in or jump ball, there is no frontcourt or backcourt status. When possession is gained, location of the player determines frontcourt or backcourt status of the ball.

The ball is considered to remain in the backcourt while a player is dribbling the ball until both feet of that player and the ball have been in contact with the frontcourt. The ball is considered to remain in the backcourt while a player is dribbling the ball until the players both feet and the ball have been in contact with the frontcourt. When an airborne player gains possession of the ball during a throw in, a jump ball or while on defense they are considered to have no status as related to frontcourt or backcourt if they (and only that player) return to the floor possessing the ball. The location where they land will determine the location of the player and the ball.

Clarified example of a backcourt violation.
Backcourt Rule 9-9-1 A backcourt player passes the ball forward into the frontcourt where it bounces off of a teammate and lands in the backcourt. If the teammate in the backcourt picks up the ball, it is a backcourt violation. Clarified example of a backcourt violation.

In (1), the player with her pivot foot (right foot) in the backcourt can pivot the left foot into the frontcourt and then to the backcourt in (2) without committing a violation. In (3), the player uses her front foot or left foot as her pivot foot and pivots into the frontcourt. However, when she now touches the backcourt in (4), it is a violation In (1), the player with her pivot foot (right foot) in the backcourt can pivot the left foot into the frontcourt and then to the backcourt in (2) without committing a violation. In (3), the player uses her front foot or left foot as her pivot foot and pivots into the frontcourt. However, when she now touches the backcourt in (4), it is a violation.

It is recommended to review case plays and 9-9-1, Situations A-E, in the Case Book. These cases present situations that assist in explaining the status of the ball and player when considering backcourt violations.

Team Control Status During Throw in; Team Control Status Inbounds
Since a rule change, team control exists during a throw in when the thrower in has the ball at her/his disposal. The change was made ONLY to eliminate the penalty of administering free throw(s) when a teammate of the thrower in commits a common foul during the throw in Since a rule change, team control exists during a throw in when the thrower in has the ball at her/his disposal. The change was made ONLY to eliminate the penalty of administering free throw(s) when a teammate of the thrower in commits a common foul during the throw in.

Team Conrol Status Inbounds
The change made the penalty consistent with the penalty for other team control fouls. The penalty now is the awarding of a throw in to the opposing team at the spot out-of-bounds nearest to where the foul occurred.

Team Control Status During Throw in; Team Control Status Inbounds
NOTE: Team control during a throw in is not intended to be equated to player control status inbounds which creates team control status inbounds. During the throw in, 10-seconds, 3-seconds, frontcourt status, backcourt status, closely guarded, etc. are not factors as there has yet to be player control/team control status obtained inbounds.
