Thanks Mr. Nick Brigati! Really awesome of you to put up this intructional officiating video for basketball referees, especially the newbies! It helped me a lot and to others, I'm sure, as well! Keep it up. Rooting for your more videos to come, from the Philippines!

Nice Nick! found it very useful, educational for a novice referee like me! Great!

Found your video, clear, helpful, and great!

The Trail has the "L"

Please clarify on -- Going to the other end -- No FTs (2 man) at 2:22 -- we change positions based on where we would have been on the offensive end of the floor. I need to know why this; what is the rationale?

The current NFHS mechanics, as of 2017-18, use 2 hands to show numbers. Number 31, for instance, would involve showing a 3 on the right hand and 1 on the left hand (in FIBA, one would show tens by turning the hand(or hands) backwards (palm facing the table), and then turn the hand(s) forward to show the ones. In FIBA, digits above 5 are legal)). NFHS normally has officials switch tableside after reporting, except for certain states (Ohio, Michigan (as of 2019-20), Louisiana, Arizona, and states using standard IAABO mechanics). In college (men's and women's mechanics, using 2 hands to report numbers has been standard since at least 2013-14.

awesomeness. I'm a new official and this illustrated walk through is great.

Hi Nick! On the first play, why does Lead have the subsequent throw-in and not the new Trail?

Damn, Nick! This is really well done. Kudos.

3:30 the new lead would not administer this throw in. The new trail after reporting will be the administering official here.

Learn a lot from your video, thanks a lot. But I have a question, about reporting Fouls and switching, the FIBA rule "The referee who calls and reports a foul resulting in a throw-in always go opposite from the table", but you said at around 7:20 of this video, the C reporting foul but stay at table side to be a new C, should he go back to opposite of table to become a new T?
