Vale Len Hamilton

The basketball community lost a valuable member on Monday 3rd May when Len Hamilton passed away peacefully after battling ill health in the last couple of years.

Len was a Level 3 Scoretable official from Logan and previously from Victoria Point, Southern Districts and Bendigo. With an unbelievable commitment and love for the game, Len was known at all levels – from domestic, to A grade, to Vets to National Leagues. Why was Len so well known? Was it because he would sit at a tournament all day every day, or was it because his voice could be heard throughout the stadium, or was it because he showed newbies how to complete a scoresheet, or was it because he had an endless supply of lollies, or was it because he remembered everyone’s names or was it because he was the first person to welcome you into the stadium and the last person to say goodnight on his way home? Actually for all of the above! Len is survived by his wife Margaret, two sons, one daughter and eight grand- children. His family, basketball and bowls were his life and he loved each with an amazing passion. A larger than life memory was when Len attended a recent WNBL game, with his health deteriorating, friends took in him a wheelchair to support his beloved Logan girls. He was wheeled around the court and waved to all – we shall never forget his smile on this day! It was a grand farewell and an opportunity for his friends to farewell him at the stadium! RIP Lenny Hamilton – your legacy to the game shall never be forgotten.

National Pride by Moana Lilino With two weeks notice I prepared myself for an adventure of new experiences as I journeyed to score for the U18 National ChampiWith two weeks notice I prepared myself for an adventure of new experiences as I journeyed to score for the U18 National Championships, held in Terrigal, NSW from 10 to 17 April. As the only Queensland representative to with score table duties, I anticipated an exciting week of basket- ball.

I arrived there on Friday the 9th of April, had a good nights sleep in very beautiful surroundings at the Avoca Palm Resort, overlooking Avoca beach and was ready for a busy week. On the first day of com- petition I was the shot clock operator for four games. Avoca Beach, Terrigal. An excerpt from my journal reads: “Yesterday the first day at Nationals was exhausting. We were at the stadium from 8am until 1030pm. Photo courtesy of Moana. I scored four games. It was a big learning day because of the differences in the way we do things at home. During my third game we had two overtimes and I had to work with a faulty game clock, however, I am pleased because I did an excellent job regardless of the problems with the clock.” With two weeks notice I prepared my- Every game I was assigned to was an honour and privilege, and I was grateful that I was rostered to self for an ad- many of the Queensland team’s games, which included both Queensland North and South boys and venture of new girls teams. I scored 29 games during the seven days of competition, with the highlight of being chosen experiences as to score the girls final. It was Victoria Metro versus Queensland South girls. Victoria Metro won by 1 I journeyed to score for the point. U18 National The boy’s final was NSW Metro versus Victoria Metro. NSW Metro won with a three point shot suc- Champion- cessfully made in the final seconds of the game. Comments made after the finals were that they were the best finals for both girls and boys games at U18 Championships for many years.

On the day I returned to Queensland I was filled with a deeper appreciation for my experience in Terri- gal and the many friends I had met. I was happy to have contributed to a very successful tournament.

A Working Holiday!

Have you ever thought of doing something a bit different for your holidays? Early this year, I was asked if I’d be interested in assisting with a new concept for a basketball tournament to be held in Adelaide just after Easter. As I hadn’t been to Adelaide for about 15 years and I had friends and relatives there, I thought I’d take on the challenge of something new and revisit the place in which I spent my student days.

The new concept was the Foot Locker Elite Classic Basketball High Stakes Hoops – aka ECB! This tournament had 8 teams which the various owners assembled from ABA, NBL, Ex-NBL, College players, and other overseas players who were drafted to play in this tournament which had some $250,000 in prize money on offer.

The rules had been modified to include no possession arrow, 4 time-outs per half which comprised two full and two twenty sec time -outs; there was also a three minute Game Breaker period for each team per half where three pointers were worth four points. Needless to say the teams which played some defence as well as made their outside shots in their Game Breaker periods were the ones who progressed through the tournament. The Scoretable Chairpersons had an extra job keeping tabs of these Game Breaker periods which were indicated by turning the scoreboard lights on and off at the start and finish! There were Queensland players in all of the teams which made it more interesting for me, with the Reef team being coached by well-known Brisbane identities Dale Ryan and Rob Scheibner and the Rays team with Blaze guard Adam Gibson, taking home the winners cheque.

As the game times for this new event were dictated by TV programming (so not always very worker-friendly), the spectators were pretty few and more between in the 7,000+ stadium. However, it was great that basketball was back on free-to-air television and the games were fun to watch and were of a good standard considering the teams had just been brought together without time to train. Some overseas players literally got off the plane and went straight to the stadium for their first game! It was also interesting to see retired NBL players like Cal Bruton, Tony Ronaldson, John Rillie doing some commentary work and others like Brett Maher returning to play, much to the delight of his Adelaide fans.

In comparison to Brisbane, Adelaide is a planned city, so it’s easy to drive around. I was fortunate to have the use of a car so could drive myself to the stadium for games. I made use of my spare time by doing some sightseeing and catching up with friends by phone and in person. I was taken to Glenelg and Henley Beach for a drive and lunch; I went by bus to the City, Rundle Mall (to buy some Haigh’s chocolates!) and North Terrace to visit the Art Gallery of SA and I even got to see the local Norwood ABA games on the Sat night.

Despite my apprehension at working with a group of people I hadn’t met before, I found the Adelaide scorers I worked with were a very friendly and relaxed group who welcomed my assistance. It was great to be able to compare notes and learn how things were done down there. A couple of the people I met in Adelaide had worked at the 2000 Olympics with Wendy, Naree and Gaby, so scoretable networking keeps on going strong after 10 years! I was interested to learn that for their ABA games, the Scoretable Chairperson is appointed and paid for by Basketball . Thanks to SA Officials Trevor Baker and Barry Drogemuller for including me in the Scoretable team for this event and to all the scorers, players and coaches who made my “working holiday” at the ECB so enjoyable and memorable.

Page 12 QUEST Issue 2/10 Correctable Errors

Defintion: Officials may correct an error if a rule is inadvertently disregarded in the following situations ONLY: (All pertain to shooting)  Awarding an unmerited (s)  Failure to award a merited free throw (s)  Erroneous awarding or cancelling point(s)  Permitting the wrong player to attempt a free throw(s)

To be correctable the above-mentioned errors must be recognized by the officials or table offi- cials before the ball becomes live following the first dead ball after the game has started follow- ing the error.

An official may stop the game immeadiately upon recognition of a correctable error, as long as neither team is placed at a disadvantage.

Any fouls committed, points scored, time used, additional activity which may have occurred after the error has occurred and before its recognition, shall NOT be nullified.

After the correction of the error, unless otherwise stated in the rules, the game shall be resumed at the point it was stopped to correct the error. The ball shall be awarded to the team entitled to the ball at the time the game was stopped for the correction.

Once an error that is still correctable has been recognized:  If the player involved in the correction of the error is on the team bench after having been legally substituted (not for having been disqualified or having com- mitted his 5th foul), he must re-enter the court to participate in the correction (at this point he becomes a player)  Upon completion of the correction, he may remain in the game unless a legal substitution has been requested again, in which case the player may leave the playing area  If the player was substituted because he had committed his fifth foul or was dis- qualified, his substitute must participate in the correction.

Correctable errors cannot be corrected after the referee has signed the scoresheet.

Any errors in scorekeeping by the scorer or time-keeping by the timer involving the score, num- ber of fouls, number of time-outs or time consumed or omitted, may be corrected by the officials, at any time before the referee signs the scoresheet.

EXAMPLE: B4 fouls A4 and this is team B‘s fifth team foul. Erroneously, A4 is not awarded 2 free throws but a throw-in. A5 controls the ball inbounds, when B5 taps the ball from his hands and out of bounds. Coach A requests a time-out. During the time-out, the officials recognize the correctable error or it is called to their attention that A4 should have been awarded 2 free throws.

INTERPRETATION: A4 shall be awarded his free throws and the game shall resume as after any normal free throw(s).

However, if in the judgement of the officials, the opponents would be placed at a disadvantage, the twenty-four second device shall continue from the time it was stopped.

29.2.2 If the twenty-four second device signal sounds in error while a team has control of the ball or neither team has control of the ball, the signal shall be disregarded and the game shall continue. However, if in the judgement of the officials, the team in control of the ball has been placed at a disadvantage, the game shall be stopped, the twenty-four second device shall be corrected and the ball shall be awarded to that team.
