Fiba Rule Casebook CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF BASKETBALL OFFICIALS FIBA RULE CASEBOOK created and updated by Paul Deshaies CABO National Interpreter with the co-operation of Bill Denney BC Provincial interpreter and Seward Neilsen NB Provincial Interpreter This is the October 2012 Edition The purpose of this document is to help officials understand how the FIBA rules apply in actual game situations. It is made available on-line and is updated on a regular basis. If, after reading parts of this document, uncertainties persist regarding the application of the rules, please contact your local or provincial interpreter, or the national interpreter for clarification. \\REGAN-NEW\00_Steve's Work\REFEREES\CABO 2012 Casebook_SGS Reformat.Doc On your behalf I would like to thank the Canadian Association of Basketball Officials for the work they have done in preparing this Casebook on the FIBA Rules. The FIBA Technical Commission which continually monitors international basketball rules, and from time to time makes recommendations for changes, does not formally endorse this Casebook. Nor does it produce an alternative. At various times the FIBA Technical Commission does issue “Interpretations” to add to the information and add some clarity to the information in the Rulebook, Equipment Manual and Manuals for Two and Three Person Officiating. These “Interpretations” can be found on the FIBA website www.fiba.com under the “Inside FIBA” menu. I am happy to recommend this publication to any official wanting to improve their understanding of the FIBA Rules and improve their ability to deal with the many diverse situations they might face when they have the whistle in their mouth. Nevertheless, it needs to be read with some caution. It is written primarily for a Canadian audience where many other sets of rules besides FIBA rules are used in various competitions. There are some questions and some situations which have been written, very obviously, with local conditions in mind, so not everything in the book is a FIBA rule. Some examples can be found at Article 4.3, Article 36.6 and Article 37.2. There may be others. In this reformat of the publication “metres” have been changed to “metres” “favor” has been changed to “favour” to try to make the reading more familiar to Oceania eyes. You would help us, and your colleagues if you pointed out any errors you detect in the creation of this document. Again, I acknowledge the generous efforts of the Canadian Association of Basketball Officials (CABO), whose ownership is indicated on the footer of each page.
