Article 19

This rule affects throws-ins, substitutions, time-outs, free throws, jump balls and correctable errors. It is important that scoretable officials pay careful attention to the status of the ball before sounding the horn to gain the attention of the floor officials.

Ball Becomes Live (Article 10.2): The ball becomes live when:

 During the Jump Ball, the ball is legally tapped by a jumper.

 During a free throw, the ball is at the disposal of the free throw shooter.

 During a throw-in, the ball is at the disposal of a player for the throw-in.

Ball Becomes Dead (Article 10.3): The ball becomes dead when:

 An Official blows his whistle.

 Any field goal or free throw is made.

 The game clock signal sounds for the end of the period.

 The 24-Second Operator’s signal is sounded while a team is in control of the ball.

CHARGED TIME-OUT

Article 18

Time-outs may be granted:

 On any whistle.

 For the non-scoring team, if a field goal is scored.

 When the last or only free throw is successful either team may be granted the request for a

charged time-out.

 When a free throw is followed by a throw-in at the centre line extended, opposite the

scorer’s table, either team may be granted the request for a charged time-out.

A time-out opportunity begins when:

 The ball becomes dead, the game clock is stopped and the referee has ended his

communication with the scoretable.

 For the non-scoring team, if a field goal is scored.

A time-out opportunity ends when:

 The ball is at the disposal of a player out of bounds for the throw-in.

 When the last or only free throw is successful, the ball is at the disposal of a player out of

bounds for a throw-in.

 When a free throw is followed by a throw-in at the centre line extended, opposite the

scorer’s table, the opportunity for a charged time-out ends when the ball is at the disposal of a player out of bounds for a throw-in.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Article 19

Substitution opportunity begins when :

 The ball becomes dead, the game clock is stopped and the official has ended his

communication with the scoretable.

 For the non scoring team when a field goal is scored in the last two minutes of the fourth

period or the last two minutes of each extra period,

 When the last or only free throw is successful either team may be granted a substitution.

There is no restriction on the number of substitutions that may be affected by either team.

 When a free throw is followed by a throw-in at the centre line extended, opposite the

scorer’s table, either team may be granted a substitution. There is no restriction on the number of substitutions that may be affected by either team.

 When a violation is called for goal interference the whistle is blown by the officials and the

game clock is stopped. This is a substitution opportunity for teams before the ball is thrown in from the baseline after the score. In the last two minutes of the fourth quarter or any extra period only the team with the throw-in is permitted to have a substitution.

Substitution opportunity ends when:

 The ball is at the disposal of a player out of bounds for the throw-in.

 When the last or only free throw is successful, the opportunity for a substitution ends when

the ball is at the disposal of a player out of bounds for a throw-in.

 When a free throw is followed by a throw-in at the centre line extended, opposite the

scorer’s table, the opportunity for a substitution ends when the ball is at the disposal of a player out of bounds for a throw-in.

Procedure for Substitutions:

 Scoretable Officials are to use commonsense in the application of these rules as there is no

sanction for a failure to report. The important factor here is to avoid having players on court that are not eligible to play.

 Only a substitute has the right to request a substitution.

He shall go to the scorer’s table and ask clearly, making the proper signal with his hands or by sitting on the substitution chair. He must be ready to play.

 Sound the signal to notify the Floor Officials there is a Substitution after the Referee has

completed the foul sequence.

 Requests for a substitution may be cancelled before the signal has sounded for such a

request.

 Substitutions shall be completed as quickly as possible.

 It is essential that all substitutes report to the Scoretable. This also applies to the substitution

of injured, disqualified or fouled out players.

 Ask players for the number of the player they are replacing; however do not insist it be given.

 Substitutes must report to the scoretable during time-outs, during quarter and three quarter

time and any interval of play before commencing any extra period. For this purpose ONLY , half time is not taken as an interval of play.

 Scoretable officials are to acknowledge all substitutes that report during time-outs and

intervals of play.

 In a jump ball, the jumper may not be substituted (unless injured, disqualified or fouled out).

 Any number of substitutions may be made at any one time except when substituting the

shooter or person in a jump ball.

 Substitutions must wait for permission to enter the court.

 There are no time limits but delays should not be allowed.

 30 seconds is allowed for the substitution of a player who has committed his fifth personal

foul or has been disqualified.

 A player who has become a substitute and a substitute who has become a player cannot

respectively re-enter or leave the game until the ball becomes dead again, after a clock-running phase.

 A substitute shall not be permitted to the scoring team when the game clock is stopped

following a field goal in the last two minutes of the fourth period and each extra period unless an official has interrupted the game or the non-scoring team has been granted a substitution.

ACTIVITY:

The black team requests a substitution. A shooting foul called on red 5 – 2 shots to 6 black foul. With a partner, go through the procedure of alerting the referee to the substitution.
