On the higher levels most of the times the players will know the difference between a goaltending or an interference. Fans might be less likely to understand the difference, let alone correctly asses a situation. On the regional level or lower national levels players might have a difficult time doing that too. And I for myself, as it’s not likely to happen more than 2 times a season sometimes get suprised by the occasion. Therefore we invite you to grab your rulebook (or the App) and check the definition of goaltending and the definition of interference. After you’re done reading we invite you to check the following clip and share your opinion on what you have?

IOT Fundamentals
Individual Officiating Techniques (IOT) is the most important foundation for either 2 Person Officiating (2PO) or 3 Person Officiating (3PO). It is evident that in the past 15 years there has been a heavy focus
on 3PO (namely for the mechanical movements of the referees on the floor). This has led to a lack of knowledge in how to actually referee individual play phases in the game – this being the fundamental
skills that referees need to possess in order to process and facilitate the correct decision. These are inherent skills of IOT and are similarly relevant to both 2PO and 3PO. Lees verder “IOT Fundamentals”
What do you have? -35-
It looks as if you like the AOS clips we’ve been putting up in recent days. So here’s another one. Do you think it’s a foul in AOS yes or no?
And off course: if you can’t explain it, don’t bother calling it.

Okay we seem to quite nicely be able to determine when the AOS is starting. Let’s see the other end of the play, cuz what goes up must come down right? There must be an end to the AOS we think. That being said we stumbled upon a nice clip. Is the foul you are about to see in the AOS yes or no?

Hah, that was nice yesterday. Quite a varied range of opinions . Seems like we not yet quite on the same page as ti define when the AoS starts. But as we said before: sometimes clips are easy, sometimes clips are not. Here’s another one and the question is the same as yesterday. Act of shooting or not?

What do you have? -32-
We’ve all seen it happen, being it in our own games or from friends we’ve watched. Player goes up, you hear a whistle, and the ball goes through the hoop. Was the foul in the act of shooting or not?? Can you all recite the rule? When does AoS start??
In the clip below the question is clear. Act of shooting yes or no?
