5 Play Challenge on Held Ball - How many can you get right?

Welcome back to the 5 Play Challenge, with five plays involving held ball (commonly called jump ball). We will show five video clips on the held ball three different times giving ample opportunity to make a ruling. First, is in real time. Second, is zoomed in and slowed it down. Third, an analysis of what happened is given and the correct ruling revealed. These videos, as always, are dedicated to educating officials on the rules of basketball.

The 5 play challenge is not set up to explain the rule in detail but instead simply references rules as they are written and guidelines to help appropriately apply those rules. Every held ball video we show in this segment is clipped from actual footage of high school basketball games, involving high school athletes. The goal is to provide as much possible information to assist the way we see held ball plays in the future. The more plays we see, with detailed explanation, the better we will get at identifying the correct ruling more consistently.

Video #1
- Drive to the basket is stopped when a defender gets his hand on the ball stopping the shot. But was it a held ball?
Video #2
- Fast break play where the dribbler is met by a vertical defender blocking his shot. Held ball is called by the official. Was he right?
Video #3
- Loose ball at the top of the lane is swarmed by players. Officials stop play for a held ball. Was it? Watch to find out.
Video #4
- A shot is missed and a rebound was made with two players on the ball. The official called a foul. Could it have been a held ball?
Video #5
- Another rebound play with opponents securing control and falling to the floor on top of each other. Were the officials right with their ruling?

Watching video clips is a good way to hone your basketball officiating skills and retain your learning for future use. We believe the most effective way to assist in building a correct understanding of rules and how to apply them is by watching videos with annotation, diagrams and shading to highlight key teaching points. Taking away and remembering specifics on a rule, such as held balls, is easier when visual aids are used to present in a way that is easy to listen to and understand.

The Officials Institute, and the 5 Play Challenge segment, creates videos in a fun and interesting way to test your ability to properly recognize specific plays, but don't leave you guessing about whether there was a foul, violation or not. Even though we cannot officiate in slow motion or freeze frames, by watching and reviewing video video in this fashion, we are able to "retrain our brain" so we can start seeing plays more accurately when we do see them in real time and increase our ability to get the call right.
