Basketball
season
a)
Covid issues are arising for many teams and we advise those schools to consult
their conference president to assist with possible solutions.
b)
Regional dates will remain status
quo. The NBIAA will review schedules
and some games may need to be held on Saturday where required.
Possible options if a team is out due to Covid would be to delay the
game, the 3rd place team could advance or the #1 seed may get a bye.
To prepare for the possibility of a team being unable to advance due to
Covid, we suggest that the 3rd & 4th
place seeding game be played on Sunday. If a team is
down to 6 players, the possibility of moving up a player from the Junior team
can be reviewed on a case by case basis.
c)
Senior Sectionals will remain
status quo.
MOTION to allow the sectional non-winning teams
to play at a neutral site if they wish no later than March 9th.

Mercy Rule -
Straight time will be run when there is a
40
point lead in the 4th quarter, but if both coaches agree, they
must notify the officials and may play the
reminder of the game, to which the final score counts.
When the mercy rule is in effect, there shall be no deliberate pressing or
trapping anywhere on the court by either team.
Basketball Scorebooks (Bilingual) - 25 games per book
$15 each or two for $25
Coaches:
Substitutes and coaches should not be standing in front of the scorer’s tables during play. This makes it difficult for the minor officials to follow the play on the floor. When substitutes go to the scorer’s table and ask for a sub, they must sit or kneel beside the table until the play becomes dead and are allowed to sub. For the coaches, please be reminded that there is a coaches box which starts 5 meters from the center line and officials will ask the coach’s to stay in their coaches box so the minor officials can do their job well.
