"Based on officiating mechanics devised and endorsed by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), Officiating Basketball is the definitive guide for new and experienced high school officials. Included are guidelines for what's expected of you as a basketball official, officiating procedures and responsibilities, and pre- and postgame duties." "More than 100 photos and illustrations of positioning, court movement and signals support officiating mechanics for two-and three-person crews. Real-life cases demonstrate correct rulings, point out common officiating errors and how to avoid them, and challenge you to make the right call in game situations. A glossary of key basketball terms is also included. Officiating Basketball is not a rules book - it's a practical resource for implementing correct mechanics as developed and approved by the NFHS."--BOOK JACKET.
