Proper Restart When Officiating Ambiguous Out of Bounds
When the ball goes out of bounds and no player can be clearly identified as touching it, the referee resumes play by placing the ball about three feet inside the court at a right angle to the touchline. The official then tosses the ball up to resume play, as in the center jump.
Tiebreak Procedure After Regulation in Basketball
When the score is tied at the end of regular time the referee must continue play for five-minute periods without delay to break the tie. Teams use the same baskets as in the second half and the ball is put into play at center to start each period.
Referee Rules on Goal Validity and Ball Deadness
The referee decides if a goal is properly made and when the ball is dead. The referee governs all plays under jurisdiction. A player awarded the ball to reenter play after out of bounds has rights to put it in. If the player holds the ball more than five seconds, the ball goes to an opponent out of bounds.
