Note #1 - Defensive Restrictions: All defensive players start inside the three-point arc until the first pass in the front court is made. First free pass only applies to passes made between half-court and the foul line extended. Passes made inside the free throw line extended are not restricted.
Note #2 - No reach in steals: When offensive player has possession looking to pass, or, is dribbling, defender cannot reach-in and attempt to steal. IF offensive player loses possession...fumbles ball, or, dribbles it off foot, etc. it is considered a loose ball and defender can steal it.
Note #3 - Inbounds pass: All dead ball inbounds plays (not after a made basket) taken at half court; free inbounds except if inbounds pass is made below the foul line. Inbounds must be in front court - no passes into back court.
Note #4 – Isolation Play Definition: Isolation plays defined as a play where all offensive players except the ball handler are sent outside of the three-point area during the play
Note #5 – Overtime: No additional timeouts are granted – timeouts can be carried over if the team has any remaining. Playing time rules do not apply to
either overtime period. Be aggressive - Play to Win the Game!
*Definition of Relaxed Free Throw: Shooter must start behind free throw line; momentum may carry the shooter one step beyond line. The shooter cannot run in to go after the rebound.
Penalty for rules violations: 1st offense - Warning Issued. Subsequent offenses - Team Technical Foul at Referee’s discretion.
