1) When play is stopped for a foul, or violation (traveling, double dribble etc) or a time out, WHERE TO YOU THROW THE BALL IN FROM?????
I know most of the time it doesn't matter, but at times especially near the end of the half or game it can be critical.
You always put the ball in play from the end or side line closest to where the ball was when the stoppage occurred. By definition if the player with the ball is in the lane when the stoppage occurred than it is passed in from the end line behind the basket (to the side of the basket).
2) During free throws, the players in the lane can go for the rebound as soon as the ball leaves the shooters hand, however the shooter, AND THOSE OUTSIDE THE 3 POINT CIRCLE must wait until the ball hits the rim before they can come into the lane.
3) HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS, We are experimenting with allowing high school players, 10th, 11th and 12th graders A-F squad. to play with the young men or men's teams but only after their high school varsity teams season is over. This is only for Baptized members of your ward, and if there are more than one. Only one on the court at a time. So if a player was on the Sophomore or Jr. varsity team and their schedule is complete they are still ineligible until the varsity's post season tournament is completed.

CONTROVERSY!
Oh my, I was Officiating the women,s volleyball championship match's last Saturday, 6 time defending champion YSA vs. Medicine Lake.
YSA won the first set, now here is the controversy Between sets one of the spectators,for Medicine Lake brought the ball into the rest room, than Medicine Lake won Three straight sets!
Just for kicks I just checked the air pressure of the ball and to my astonishment someone deflated the ball!!!
There will be an investigation, fines and suspensions!

2015 SAMS LDS women's volleyball champions Medicine Lake
MEDICINE LAKE
The Singles ward was going for the unprecedented 7th straight championship. They were undefeated going into the finals with Medicine Lake who had come up the losers bracket.
The Singles ward won the first game, than Medicine Lake won the next two, sending it to the one final game winner takes all. After a close start Marsie Peniata rattled off about 10 straight serves. to put the match away. It was close and fun and sisters and former high school teammates teasing each other from the two teams. Congrats to all, now on to Basketball!

Thanks so much for those of you who volunteer to referee. Our program will quickly crumble without hustling volunteers. We do not expect you to know all the rules just make your best judgement.
We will use this post to occasionally clarify some rules that are often misunderstood.
1) OVER AND BACK. To be over and back, a team needs to have control in the front court, when dribbling over the half court line and to be precise, the inner plain of the line closest to the basket in your front court, Now both feet and the ball have to be over in the front court, so if you are dribbling and the ball is in the back court and your feet are in the front court, it is still not "over" thus you can step back over the line and not be "over and back" but once the ball and both feet are in the front court, any part of your body or ball touching the line or back court is OVER AND BACK.
If a foot or ball is in the front court than comes back, 90 percent of the people in the gym will think it is over and back and if you call it that way, hardly no one will complain. and we will support that decision, however those 90 percent will be wrong. Now another way this comes into play is when you are passing the ball in from the base or side line, and you are in the front court, when you pass the ball there is no individual control. so you can pass the ball into the back court from your spot behind the end or sideline as you pass the ball in. That pass can be tipped by a team in the front court, you can chase the ball into the back court and it is not an over and back violation. You must have control in the front court before it can be OVER AND BACK.
(hope that doesn't make it more confusing.)
2) If you are dribbling along the sideline or base line, and you touch the ball while in bounds than you release the ball and step out of bounds, if you can reenter the court with both feet, than you can continue dribbling the ball or grab it. It is not a line violation, Now if your dribble has ended it could be double dribble, but not out of bounds.
3) Rebounding your own shot, This one is missed a lot. When the ball leaves your hand on a shot, there is no control, and anyone can rebound it, EVEN IF IT IS AN AIRBALL the shooter can grab the rebound. Now it is the judgement of the referee to determine if it is a shot, a pass or a fumble, in the case of a fumble or pass the passer/shooter cannot be the first to touch it.

minor complaint
I know this doesn't apply to most of you but I AM REALLY GETTING TIRED OF ALL THE COMPLAINING ABOUT REFEREEING!!!!
When you play at 8:00 you have to send one person from each team to referee two young men's games, I know it can be inconvenient, but consider it a way of supporting the young men's program. Consider it an entry fee.
When I schedule my highest priority is I want someone there at 6:00 who should have keys to the building, or who lives knows people from their ward who lives close enough to get keys there fast.
That means if your home ward building is one of the stake centers you will play at 8:00 a lot.
Plus we only have 14 men's teams (same as last year) when all three buildings are used we will have only two men's games at 2 buildings, and one building with 3 men's games. Thus mathematically half your games will be at 8:00. So get used to refereeing at 6 and 7, support the young men, it doesn't have to be the same guy every week. And all you guys who come up to me and ask, Is there anything I can do? Thanks so much!

Crystal has a Young men's team
Minnetonka does have a Young men's team
West St. Paul and Young Singles have combined in the men's league, (WSP)
Plymouth men have dropped out.
