RULES CHANGES
JERSEYS PROHIBITED FROM BEING REMOVED
(3-4-15, 10-3-7h, 10-4-1h) Team member prohibited from
removing jersey within confines of playing area.
Penalty is a technical foul. Intended to be applied in all
situations – due to blood other unusual circumstances
JERSEYS PROHIBITED FROM BEING REMOVED
(3-4-15, 10-3-7h, 10-4-1h) Not unreasonable to expect team
members to go to locker rooms to change jerseys.
Addition addresses growing behavioral concern of players removing jerseys to – demonstrate frustration or anger attract individual attention
TEAM-CONTROL FOULS (7-5-5, 4-19-7)
Penalty for team-control foul changed to a throw-in in all cases.
Ball to offended team at spot nearest to where foul occurred.
Bonus free throws no longer awarded.
New definition for team-control foul in Rule 4-19-7.
TEAM-CONTROL FOULS (7-5-5, 4-19-7)
Makes rule enforcement easier for officials.
Under previous rule, difficult to determine player control: when offensive player charges
receiving or releasing a pass during interrupted dribble
Makes penalty consistent for player-control foul and team-control foul.
TEAM-CONTROL FOULS (7-5-5, 4-19-7)
Applies only when foul is by team in control.
By rule, there is NO team control during a throw-in during a jump ball while ball is in flight during try/tap for
goal Bonus rule applies to fouls committed
during these situations.
TEAM-CONTROL FOULS (7-5-5, 4-19-7)
Officials should review Correctable Error Rule (2-10)
With rules change, possible to: Fail to award a merited free
throw Award an unmerited free throw Permit wrong player to attempt
free throw
TEAM-CONTROL FOULS (7-5-5, 4-19-7)
Signaling sequence:1. Foul (raised fist, birddog
optional)2. Preliminary signal3. Direction4. Spot
DOUBLE FOULS (7-5-9, 4-36)
Penalty for double personal, double technical and simultaneous fouls changed.
From alternating-possession (AP) throw-in to resuming from point of interruption (POI).
New definition for POI in Rule 4-36. If POI cannot be determined – AP used:
Example: unsuccessful try in flight
DOUBLE FOULS (7-5-9, 4-36)
Key points: Officials must know the status of
the ball when a double foul is called.
Play is resumed where the ball was located, NOT at the spot nearest to where the fouls occurred.
DOUBLE FOULS (7-5-9, 4-36)
Rationale for change: No team should benefit from a
double foul. Team entitled to arrow benefited
from the fouling act. Hope is that more double fouls will
be called when warranted.
LEAVING COURT FOR UNAUTHORIZED REASON (9-3-2)
Rule for leaving the court for an unauthorized reason changed to a violation.
Tactic increasing with former penalty of a technical foul not being assessed.
Violation called as soon as player voluntarily leaves the court.
LEAVING COURT FOR UNAUTHORIZED REASON (9-3-2)
Could be called on offense or defense.
Offense typically violates (player runs around low screen outside the end line) – immediate dead ball.
If called on the defense during a try in flight – the ball remains live (6-7-9 Exception d).
LEAVING COURT FOR UNAUTHORIZED REASON (9-3-2)
Hope is to eliminate this tremendous advantage – Penalty change and emphasis
will be deterrent to coaches/players
Less severe penalty more likely to be called

POINTS OF EMPHASIS
SPORTING BEHAVIOR
The NFHS Basketball Rules Committee continues to be concerned with player, coach and fan behavior.
Imperative that all parties involved accept responsibility and improve behavior.
Specifically, the committee wants the following addressed:
SPORTING BEHAVIOR - UNIFORMS
Players using uniforms in unsporting ways increasing.
Examples include: Holding uniform out from chest to
display team name Pulling uniform out of shorts in an
emotional display Removing jersey, especially after a
disqualification
SPORTING BEHAVIOR - UNIFORMS
Jerseys are expected to be worn properly and remain on.
New Rule 3-4-15 adds, “A player shall not remove the jersey and/or pants/skirt in the confines of the playing area.”
The result is a technical foul.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR - UNIFORMS
Uniforms must be worn as intended and the rule must be enforced.
Jersey must be tucked in and shorts must be worn properly.
When a player is in violation of the rule, the player is directed to leave the game.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR - UNIFORMS
Jerseys become untucked during play, but too often there are multiple warnings for clear violations.
Coaches bear a great responsibility in ensuring uniforms stay on team members.
Officials must enforce the rules as written.
Directing a player to leave early in the game typically solves the problem and saves multiple warnings later.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – TIME-OUTS
Bench personnel run onto the court to celebrate and congratulate teammates when a time-out is called after a scoring run.
Opposing players heading toward their bench area, often cross with celebrating team.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – TIME-OUTS
Situation can lead to bumping, pushing and/or taunting.
Coaches must ensure bench personnel remain in team bench area (1-13-3) after time-out is called.
Officials must be aware of potential for confrontation – use preventive officiating techniques and penalize appropriately.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – SPECTATORS
Fan behavior remains a critical concern.
Too often, fans are using abusive language toward coaches, players and officials.
Fans are also approaching the court, team areas and locker rooms – places that used to be “off limits” – to confront participants.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – SPECTATORS
Game administrators: Provide a safe environment for
players, coaches and officials. Create and follow security
procedures. Support efforts to have offending
fans removed from the premises. Address problems before the
official must point them out.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – SPECTATORS
Coaches: Must not incite fan behavior – sideline
actions often have an impact on fan behavior – positively or negatively.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – SPECTATORS
Officials: Never directly confront fans. Find the game administrator to
take care of the problem. In extreme cases, delay the game
until the offending fan is removed. If a game administrator is not
present, the head coach serves in this capacity.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – COACHING BOX
Coaches must stay in the coaching box.
Wandering coaches create problems: Distinct advantage gained by ability to
better communicate with team. Interferes with play. Distracting to players and officials. Perceived as an intimidation tactic toward
officials and table personnel. Can incite inappropriate player, bench and
spectator behaviors.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – COACHING BOX
Rule is black-and-white, but has not been dealt with properly.
Many officials ignore the rule because coaches are not “directing comments” to officials or are “just coaching the team.”
These situations should have no bearing on addressing the behavior.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – COACHING BOX
Coach is OUT of box “just coaching”: FIRST offense – address behavior by
warning coach. NEXT offense – technical foul
assessed. Coach is IN or OUT of box behaving
inappropriately (10-4): FIRST offense – technical foul
assessed.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – COACHING BOX
Once coaching box is lost due to technical foul, all related rules restrictions apply.
Once privilege is lost, there is no way to get the coaching box back.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – COACHING BOX
Assistant coaches do NOT have same privileges as the head coach.
Only the head coach is permitted to address officials.
The fact that an assistant coach is “only coaching” has no bearing on the rule or enforcement.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – COACHING BOX
Assistant coaches must be seated at ALL times, except: during time-outs or intermissions to attend to an injured player
after being beckoned to spontaneously react to a play
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – COACHING BOX
Assistant coach is standing, “just coaching”: FIRST offense – address behavior by
warning the head coach. NEXT offense – assess a technical foul
on the assistant coach (indirect to head coach, loss of coaching box).
Assistant coach is behaving inappropriately, standing or sitting: FIRST offense – assess a technical foul.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR – COACHING BOX
Coaches who continually abuse the coaching-box rule risk having the state change or remove the box completely.
Officials who don’t enforce the coaching-box rule risk not following the expectations of the state and having future assignments affected.
School administrators must demand that coaches adhere to this rule.
FREE-THROWS – LANE SPACES
Many believe defensive players in first lane spaces are at a rebounding disadvantage.
Proposals continually submitted to committee to: Eliminate first space (move players up) Permit players to stand on block
Statistics collected do not support the need for these proposed changes.
FREE-THROWS – LANE SPACES
Statistics within acceptable ranges and consistent with historical norms.
Team closest to basket is supposed to get most rebounds!
The rules are not designed to: guarantee a rebound to the defense or give each team an equal chance.
A rules change will only be considered when statistics suggest one is necessary.
FREE-THROWS – ROUGH PLAY
Having player restrictions end when attempt hits the ring continues to serve initial purpose of reducing rough play.
Same is true for keeping the block (neutral zone) – provides a “buffer” area between players.
FREE-THROWS – ROUGH PLAY
Rough play still a concern. Coaches must NOT teach players
to: “lock up” arms along the lane line drive players further under the
basket with brute force Officials must call fouls when
players are being held or displaced.
FREE-THROWS – DISCONCERTION
Disconcertion must be carefully monitored. Especially when the free throw will become
dead (first of two or first two of three). Defensive players employ tactics serving no
other purpose than to disconcert the shooter: “boxing out” free thrower off line waving arms yelling instructions to teammates, etc.
FREE-THROWS – DISCONCERTION
Another increasing trend is opponents outside the arc saying things to the thrower.
With team free-throw percentages hovering in the mid-60’s on average, teams welcome a second chance free throw.
They deserve it if disconcertion occurs and officials must call it.
INTENTIONAL FOULS
Committee continues to be concerned about intentional fouls.
Intentional foul rule has devolved into misapplication and personal interpretations.
Committee has revised rule to improve understanding.
INTENTIONAL FOULS – ANYTIME IN GAME
Neutralizing an opponent’s obvious advantageous position or excessive contact, including: Excessive contact on player
attempting a shot Grabbing or shoving a player from
behind when an easy basket may be scored
Grabbing and holding a player from behind or away from the ball
INTENTIONAL FOULS – ANYTIME IN GAME
These are “non-basketball” plays and must be considered intentional fouls anytime they occur during a game.
INTENTIONAL FOULS – LATE IN GAME
Fouling is an accepted coaching strategy and is utilized by nearly all coaches in some form.
Viewed as a chance for a team behind in the score to get back in the game while the clock is stopped.
There is widespread belief that it works or it wouldn’t be coached.
INTENTIONAL FOULS – LATE IN GAME
There is a right way and a wrong way to foul.
Coaches must instruct players in proper strategic fouling technique.
“Going for the ball” is a common phrase heard, but intentional fouls should still be called on players who go for the ball if it is not done properly.
INTENTIONAL FOULS – LATE IN GAME
Conversely, a coach who yells, “Foul!” instructions to team members does not “automatically” mean the ensuing foul is an intentional foul — even though it is a strategic foul designed to stop the clock.
Coaches, officials, players, fans and administrators must accept fouling as a legitimate coaching strategy.
INTENTIONAL FOULS – LATE IN GAME
With that, officials must have the courage to enforce the intentional foul rule.
Too often, officials do not whistle fouls as intentional when the act clearly meets the criteria.
Officiating philosophies should not change because of the game time remaining or the score differential.
The correct call should be made — not the popular one.

MAJOR MANUAL CHANGES
DISQUALIFICATION PROCEDURE – TWO
1. Non-calling official:• notifies coach • requests timer to begin 30-second
replacement interval • notifies disqualified player
2. Calling official takes a position with ball at top of arc in end of the court where play will resume.
DISQUALIFICATION PROCEDURE – TWO
3. Non-calling official takes a position on division line half way between center circle and sideline nearer table to administer substitution.
4. Immediately after substitution for disqualified player, officials return to proper positions to administer subsequent throw-in or free throw.
DISQUALIFICATION PROCEDURE – THREE
1. New table side (Center or Trail) official • notifies coach• requests timer to begin 30-second
replacement interval• notifies disqualified player
2. Officials not administering disqualification assume positioning for subsequent throw-in or free throw.
DISQUALIFICATION PROCEDURE – THREE
3. Official administering disqualification takes a position on division line half way between center circle and sideline nearer table to administer substitution.
THROW-IN CLARIFICATION – TWO
On a quick violation or out-of-bounds in a team’s backcourt – direction of play is reversed throw-in team is now in their frontcourt
Ball is in-bounded by official responsible for that boundary line as in any frontcourt throw-in.
Causes a switch when ball will be in-bounded above free-throw line extended on old Trail’s sideline.
FOUL SWITCHING – THREE
Last year’s change: Foul-calling official goes table side. No long switch on fouls in backcourt
going to frontcourt without free throws. Officials have option of going opposite
to avoid confrontational situations (technical on coach or disqualifying foul): should be rarely used thoroughly discussed in pregame
