Sportsmanship, Physicality & New Rules (2025-26)
This training video provides an essential guide for men's basketball officials and coaches regarding new guidelines and points of emphasis for the 2025-26 season. The tape focuses on three critical areas: sportsmanship scenarios and the quick, consistent application of technical fouls; addressing illegal physicality, especially 10-14 hand-checking and illegal rebounding, to ensure freedom of movement; and clarifying the new rules concerning the limited use of coach challenges for out-of-bounds, goal tending, and restricted area plays. The plays are intended to promote staff consistency and adherence to the updated rules, including the amended continuous motion rule.
