Welcome to another edition of 5 play Fridays where we look at plays, & see what we can take from them so that we can get better as basketball officials. Our focus is on rules, signals, mechanics, positioning, demeanor, communication and any other aspects of officiating that we can think of! 5 play Fridays is a weekly series with new videos releasing every Friday during the basketball season.

as we recall from the points of emphasis video for 2018, NFHS says not that there's TOO MUCH traveling being called not that there's TOO LITTLE traveling being called but rather the accuracy of traveling calls needs improvement and the way to improve our accuracy is to first identify the pivot foot. that's our first step in judging the accuracy of traveling calls.
our takeaway on the correctable error play is first of all we're concentrating on the game itself we have players in the game who we are keeping an eye on we have situations we're aware of the calls our partners have we're working as a crew we're very occupied with the game and then suddenly we're presented with a correctable error situation and it's not always easy for us to just say oh here's what happened let's do this this this this this it may be a situation where we have to replay let's say originally blue a white misses the shot blue comes down misses a shot comes down to the other end white misses a shot etc it goes down back and forth for three or four times we have to in our minds as a crew reconstruct what has happened to determine if there's a correctable error time frame that we can correct this error and how we'll proceed it's not easy but it is something we have to be prepared to do because it happens at all levels of basketball in the NBA they have correctable error situations in the NCAA they have correctable error situations and in high school they have correctable errors situations and just saying well I'm not gonna let it happen in my game a lot of ways is a cop-out thinking well I don't need to think through how to actually solve the problem because I'm gonna prevent the problem anyway you slice it the problem will arise and we need to learn how to officiate these plays
