NFHS BASKETBALL
RULES CHANGES
REPLAY PERMITTED AT THE CONCLUSION OF STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
SERIES CONTESTS (2-2-1 NOTE:New)
A state association may now permit
game or replay officials to utilize available replay equipment
to determine the outcome of a state championship series game.
When a try for goal occurs at the expiration of time in the
fourth quarter or any overtime period (0:00 on the game clock),
replay equipment may be used to determine if the try should
be counted, and if so, if it was a two- or a three-point goal.
Individual state associations will determine if the equipment
will be used, at what tournament round(s) and by whom. This
same technology is already being utilized after state contests
by the media and being showcased on the Internet. State administrators
should also be permitted to use this same technology, if available
and desired, to assist in making the correct call when the
outcome of the game hangs in the balance and a team has no
further opportunities to overcome a critical error.
RED/LED LIGHT PERMITTED TO END QUARTER/EXTRA PERIOD
(1-14; 5-6-2)
When a red light behind the backboard
or an LED light on the backboard is present, it is permitted
to signal the expiration of time in the quarter or extra period.
If no red/LED light is present, the audible timer’s
signal will continue to signal the expiration of time. The
change permits equipment currently found in some facilities
to be utilized rather than ignored. All other end-of-period
rules remain intact. During their pregame responsibilities,
game officials should determine if red/LED lights are present
in order to adjudicate end-of-period situations properly.
