Changes Made In
Cage Rules in '50
Quite often officials at athletic
events are given a rough time by
fans because, the fans do not un
iderstand the rules of the game
I being played, especially when the
| rules have been changed since fhe
1 previous season. A few; of the
important changes involving bas
ketball rules for boys are listed
below' with some comment by an
official who will call a lot of con
tests in Eastern Carolina this sea
son.
Rule 2, Section 9 (b):
When a team is entitled to a
throw-in. If the throw-in is fro.n
the throwing team's front court
and including out of bounds at mid
court, the official shall hand (not
toss) the ball to the thrower.
Rule 3, Section 3.
The manner in which a substitu
tion may be made has undergone
an important change so that a sub
stitution may not be made for the
purpose of stopping the clock. The
sequential steps may be summar
ized as follow's:
1. The substitute shall first re
port to the scorer, and be ready to
enter the game.
2. The scorer's horn shall be
sounded only after an official has
signaled a time-out.
3. The substitute shall remain
outside the boundary until an of
ficial beckons him in.
4. The substitute may be beck
oned in by the official only when
the clock is stopped for some pur
pose other than the substitution.
Note: The scorers should be warn
ed that (1) The ball must be dead,
and (2) Time shall have been de
clared out before they are pei
mitted to signal a substitution.
In other words, a substitute may
enter only when the ball is dead
and the clock is stopped. Such as.
when a foul is called, when a team !
takes time out, when an official
declares a time-out for any reason,1
or when a jump bull is declared. I
Rule 5, Section H.
Time-out occurs and the game
watch shall be stopped when an
official signals: (a) foul; (b) jump
ball; (e) unusual delay in'getting
a dead ball into play; (d) grant
ing of a players' request for time
out; (e) si,.'•pension of play for an
injury, ->.• f,,:- removal of a player;
or a conference with other offic
ials'.
Perhaps the most important
change in the rules appears under
(b) of this reference. It provides
for stopping the clock each time
the official signals a jump ball
throughout the game. But it also
provides for uniform timing from
the beginning to the end of the
game. This change eliminates the
three (3) minutes in the fourth
quarter and a young football
game. It should be emphasized,
however, that the clock will be
stopped on every jump ball dur.
ing all four quarters of the game.
Rule 6, Section 1.
When does the ball become
alive? The ball becomes alive
when it leaves the official’s hand
on a toss for a jump, or When a
throw-in touches a player who is
inbounds or when it is placed at
the disposal of a free thrower.
Rule 6, Section 7.
When does the bail become
dead?
a. Any goal is made when a livi
ball enters the basket from above.
b. It is apparent that the ball
will not go in the basket; on a
free throw for a technical foul, or
tor a double foul or a free throw
throw which is to be followed by
another throw.
e. Wild ball occurs.
d. Official’s whistle is blown.
e. Time expires.
f. A foul occurs.
g. Any floor violation.
