from the table

Trail reports and remains

Note: the calling official

L
Both Officials Calling a Foul (“Double Whistle”)
Whenever this occurs, the two officials should immediately establish
eye contact with each other to verify the call
Close cooperation between the two officials is absolutely essential
The nearest official to the play or the official towards whom the play is
moving takes the call in order to avoid conflicting decisions (unless the
other official noticed some other foul or violation prior to the double
whistle)
In 3-person mechanics (New in 2016-2017), if there is a double whistle
from Center and Trail, the official opposite the table will take the call to
avoid a switch (provided the officials have the same call)
Free Throws
Lead administers all free throws
Lead lines up below the block
for the 1st free throw(s), then off
the court for the last free throw
Trail goes to the side opposite
the table (In 3-person
mechanics, new in 2016-2017,
the Trail may proceed downcourt with the players, away
from the ball)
Trail shows the number of free
throws, holds their signal, then
drops their hand(s) when the
ball is released
On the last or only free throw,
raise arm and be ready to start
clock if rebound

Time-Outs
The official closer to the scorer’s table administers the time-out by
immediately blowing the whistle and giving the time-out signal
The ball is placed on the floor at the next throw-in or free throw spot
(move away from table side sideline)
The officials then stand at either free-throw line extended or at the center
line (New in 2016-2017)
After the time-out, the calling official blows the whistle when the 50
second horn sounds and both officials shall proceed to the benches to
break the huddle
In 3-person mechanics (New in 2016-2017), the non inbounding officials
proceed to the benches with 20 seconds remaining in the time-out, while
the inbounding official proceeds to the ball
