18. Officials Call Time in
Case of Injury
Section 7. The Officials"may order time-out in case of injury to
players or for other reasons, although not for trifles. If the ball is
in play when an injury occurs, the Officials shall withhold their
whistles until the play has been completed. By completed is meant
that the team in possession of the ball has thrown for goal, lost
possession of the ball, has withheld the ball from play, or that the
ball has become a held ball or an out-of-bounds ball. If the injured
player cannot resume his place two minutes after the interruption
he shall be substituted, and his substitute alone can effect the free
throw or throws that may have been awarded to him.
NoTE.
—When necessary to protect an injured player the officials
may suspend play immediately.
19. Not to Question Each Other's Decisions
Section 8. Neither Official shall have authority to set aside or
question decisions made by the other within the limits of his re-
spective duties as outlined in these rules.
If the Officials make approximately simultaneous decisions on the
same play and the infractions involve different penalties, the more
severe penalty shall be imposed. This does not prevent a double
foul as defined in 3'7
0.
20. Time and Place for Decisions
Section 9. The Officials shall have power to make decisions for
infractions of rules committed either within or outside the boundary
lines; also at any moment from the beginning of play to the call of
time at the end of the game. This includes the periods when the
game may be momentarily stopped for any reason. Fouls may be
called on any number of players at the same time.
21. Designation of Fouls
Section io. When an Official calls a foul he shall designate the
offender. If it is a personal foul the Official shall signal with his
fingers the number of free throws ; he shall also designate the player
who is to attempt the free throw or throws.
22. Duties of Scorers
Section
Ir.
The Scorer shall record the field goals made, the
free throws made and missed, and shall keep a running summary
of the points scored. He shall record the personal and technical
fouls called on each player and shall notify the Referee immediately
when the fifth personal foul is called on any player. He shall
record the time-outs charged to each team, shall notify a team and
its Coach through an Official whenever that team takes a fourth
charged time-out, and shall notify the nearer Official each time
a team is granted a charged time-out in excess of the legal number.
The Official score sheet or book will be the one provided by the
International Amateur Basket Ball Federation (Amateur Basket Ball
Association of England and Wales).
