Welcome back to the 5 Play Challenge, with five plays involving foul or flop situations. We will show five video clips showing either a foul or a flop in three different ways giving ample opportunity to make a ruling. First, is in real time. Second, is zoomed in and slowed it down. Third, an analysis of what happened is given and the correct ruling revealed. These videos, as always, are dedicated to educating officials on the rules of basketball.
The 5 play challenge is not set up to explain the rule in detail but instead simply references rules as they are written and guidelines to help appropriately apply those rules. Every foul or flop video we show in this segment is clipped from actual footage of high school basketball games, involving high school athletes. The goal is to provide as much possible information to assist the way we see these types of plays in the future. The more plays we see, with detailed explanation, the better we will get at identifying the correct ruling more consistently.
Video #1
- A player in the corner shoots from outside the three and falls to the ground. The Trail officials rules a foul. Was the official correct or did the player flop?
Video #2
- Another shooting foul called outside the three point arc. Looks like there was some contact but was it enough to cause the player to fall? Watch and you decide.
Video #3
- A pass is made and in the process the passer falls to the floor. The shot was missed and the player seems to think he was fouled but here was no whistle on the play. What do you think of this one? Was he fouled?
Video #4
- A drive to the bucket, splitting two defenders, and one of the falling down trying to take a charge. There is no whistle on the play. Were the officials correct? Or should there have been a foul?
Video #5
- This play happens in the post and once again the defender falls back after possible contact on the ball handler. There was no foul called. Watch and see what happened.
Watching video clips is a good way to hone your basketball officiating skills and retain your learning for future use. We believe the most effective way to assist in building a correct understanding of rules and how to apply them is by watching videos with annotation, diagrams and shading to highlight key teaching points. Taking away and remembering specifics on a rule is easier when visual aids are used to present in a way that is easy to listen to and understand.
The Officials Institute, and the 5 Play Challenge segment, creates videos in a fun and interesting way to test your ability to properly recognize specific plays, but don't leave you guessing about whether there was a foul, violation or not. Even though we cannot officiate in slow motion or freeze frames, by watching and reviewing video video in this fashion, we are able to "retrain our brain" so we can start seeing plays more accurately when we do see them in real time and increase our ability to get the call right.
