College of Saint Scholastica Intramural Sports Rules OFFICIALS There will be two trained officials reffing games and one score keeper. All calls made by the official are FINAL. GAME PLAY Game play will be governed by the rules of the NFHS with the following highlights and modifications: The game will consist of two 20-minute running time halves with a four minute break between halves. The clock will stop in the final two minutes of each half provided that the lead is less than 15 points. The clock will also stop during team and official timeouts and for injuries. A goal is made when a live ball enters from above and goes through the hoop and net. Free throws will be awarded one point, all other successful shots will be awarded two or three points (3-pointer). There will be a jump ball at center court to begin the game. There will also be a jump ball to begin each overtime. Once contact is made, the ball is live. • In all other jump ball situations, the teams will alternate taking the ball out-of-bounds for a throw-in. The team that does not obtain possession of the first jump ball of the game starts the alternate possession procedure. PENALTIES AND VIOLATIONS Game play violations (i.e. travel, 3 seconds in the lane, double dribble, back court violation) called by the official will result in a turnover and throw-in at the location of the violation by the opponent. Offense will have 10-seconds to get the ball across half court. Failure to move the ball past half court in ten seconds will result in a turnover. The opponent will be awarded the ball and a throwin will occur from the sideline. The inbounding team will have five seconds to put the ball into play otherwise will lose possession to the opposing team.The ball will be put in play once it is released by the inbounder. A player may not hold or dribble the ball for more than 5 seconds if he is being closely guarded. This will result in a turnover. • The player in control of the ball is considered closely guarded when a defensive player is in a defensive stance no more than six feet away. NOTE: If a player changes his possession from holding to dribble or vice versa, he/she is entitled to a new 5 second count. PERSONAL FOULS AND FREE THROWS A personal foul (illegal use of the hand, hand check, holding, blocking, pushing or charging, or player-control) that occurs on the ground will result in one team foul and the ball will go to the opponent.
College of Saint Scholastica Intramural Sports Rules A personal foul that occurs during the act of shooting will result in one team foul and the person who was fouled will go to the free throw line (2 free throws for a missed shot, 1 free throw for a made shot.) Players along the free throw lane and behind the free throw line extended may not enter the key until the ball has been released AND hits the rim of the hoop. A free throw violation by the opposing team results in another free throw. A free throw violation by the shooting team will result in a loss of that free throw. A simultaneous free throw violation by both teams will result in a jump ball situation and the alternating possession arrow will determine who gets to in-bound the ball. On the seventh team foul in each half, the opposing team is awarded a one-and-one free throw situation. On the tenth team foul in each half, teams will be awarded two foul shots on all personal fouls. INTENTIONAL, FLAGRANT AND TECHNICAL FOULS Intentional, flagrant, or technical fouls are penalized with an automatic two points awarded to the offended team AND possession of the ball. Flagrant fouls are grounds for ejection from the game. TEAM CAPTAINS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTROLLING THE CONDUCT OF ALL PLAYERS ON HIS/HER TEAM. Technical fouls will be assessed for unsportsmanlike conduct, too many players on the court, delay of game, and too many timeouts. A player may be disqualified if the player receives one direct technical foul and will be disqualified for receiving 2 direct technical fouls. Technical fouls include, but are not limited to: A) Disrespectfully addressing or contacting an official or gesturing in such a manner to indicate resentment. B) Using profanity or vulgarity; taunting, baiting, or ridiculing another player; or pointing a finger at or making obscene gestures toward another player. C) Faking being fouled. D) Intentionally or flagrantly contacting an opponent when the ball is dead. E) Intentionally slapping the backboard or hanging on rim or net . The degree of intent is at the discression of the game officials. Any player involved in a fight will automatically be EJECTED from the game and suspended from the league. Involvement in a fight includes but is not limited to instigation, retaliation, physical or mental intimidation, and being an accessory to a fight.
