Last 5 Minutes of the Game.

1/19/2023

Last 5 minutes of the game the officiating crew should be in high certainty “mode”.

This means the crew can not miss any obvious fouls or violations.

This means the crew needs to help on out of bounds plays, ball being tipped into the back court on a potential back court scenario, etc. No egos should be involved.

This means the crew should know the bonus, double bonus, fouls a team has to give and the AP Arrow.

​The crew has to have excellent clock awareness and has to be detailed oriented on throw-in spots. 

The crew has to know penalties, substitutions and key match-ups. 

The crew has to be getting ready for the last second shot. 

The game is not over until the crew is in the locker room.
