ACTIVITY:
Direction: Write a reflection on what you have learned about the rules and regulations
of basketball. (5 points each)

I learned that the makeup of the officiating corps is strictly a matter of choice. The
minimum number is five: a referee, an umpire, a scorer, a timer and a shot-clock
operator. In some cases, eight officials are used in a lineup comprising a referee, two
umpires, a shot-clock operator, two scorer and two timers.

I learned that the referee is the official that controls the game. He is the one who tosses
the ball up for the center jump at the start of the game and each overtime period. His
duties range from inspecting and approving all equipment before the game is starting
time to approving the final score.

I learned that during actual play, there is no practical difference between the referee
and umpire(s). They are equally responsible for the conduct of the game; and because of
the speed of play, their duties are dictated essentially by their respective positions on
the court from the moment to moment.

I realized that the rules specify that no official have the authority to question decisions
made by another officials. The official’s control, which begin 30 minutes before starting
time for men and 15 minutes for women and concludes with the referee’s approval of
the final score, includes the power to eject from the court any player, coach or team
follower who is guilty of flagrant unsporting conduct. When the referee leaves the
confines of the playing area at the end of the game, the score is final and may not be
changed.

I realized that When a foul occurs, the official is required by the rules to signal timer to
stop the clock, designate the offender to the scorer and use his or her fingers to indicate
the number of free throws. When a team is entitled to a throw-in, an official must signal
what caused the ball to become dead, indicate the throw-in spot (except after a goal)
and designate the team entitled to the throw-in.
I realized that there were only thirteen rules of “basketball”
