• Prolonged, negative responses to a call/no-call that are disrespectful or unprofessional, including waving or thrashing the arms in disgust, dramatizing contact by re-enacting the play, or running or jumping in disbelief over a call/non-call. • A negative response to a call/no-call that includes approaching/charging an official in a hostile, aggressive or otherwise threatening manner, emphatically removing one’s coat in response to a call/no-call, or throwing equipment or clothing on to the floor. • Continual criticism during a game regarding the same incident after being warned by an official. Committee members understand there will be spontaneous reactions to calls, but they don’t want prolonged responses to harm the game environment. Basketball Court-Surface Rule This season a rules change requires temporary decals and logos placed on the court to be “of a consistent surface” as the rest of the floor. The change is intended to enhance the safety of men’s and women’s basketball players. While this past spring was a non-rules change year for basketball, policy permits rules committees to make changes in off years if safety issues are involved. The new rule calls for the playing court to be of a completely finished manner that is consistent throughout. The rules change does not restrict the use of decals and logos, but it does make clear that those marks must be similar to the rest of the court. That includes the three-foot area outside each sideline and the six-foot area behind the end lines. The host game management will be responsible for ensuring the court is of a similar finish, including any logos or decals that are legally allowed on the floor. Game officials will have the authority to suspend play if the surface does not comply. Send Feedback © 2013 NCAA | Turner Sports Interactive, Inc.
