How many shooting plays can you get right? Take the 5 Play Challenge now.

Welcome back to the 5 Play Challenge, with five plays involving basketball shooting. We will show five video clips showing a shooting situation and possibly continuous motion in three different ways giving ample opportunity to make a ruling. First, is in real time. Second, is zoomed in and slowed it down. Third, an analysis of what happened is given and the correct ruling revealed. These videos, as always, are dedicated to educating officials on the rules of basketball.

The 5 play challenge is not set up to explain the rule in detail but instead simply references rules as they are written and guidelines to help appropriately apply those rules. Every shooting video we show in this segment is clipped from actual footage of high school basketball games, involving high school athletes. The goal is to provide as much possible information to assist the way we see these types of plays in the future. The more plays we see, with detailed explanation, the better we will get at identifying the correct ruling more consistently.

Video #1
- Player receives the ball on a pass and fumbles slightly before getting hit by a defender. Was he shooting? Watch and find out.
Video #2
- Break away play to the basket but as the ball handler is making his way for a layup is bumped by the defender. The officials rules the ball out of bounds. Will you agree?
Video #3
- Shot goes up on this play with contact happening after the ball was clearly released on a try for goal, but no whistle is blown. Watch and see what you think.
Video #4
- After a pass down low, beneath the basket, the ball handler makes a shot fake to draw the defender in the air. Contact happens and a shot attempt is made, but when did the foul occur? You decide.
Video #5
- Pass is made and a foul occurs as the player lands on the court and then shoots. You gotta see this one. It's really close.

Watching video clips is a good way to hone your basketball officiating skills and retain your learning for future use. We believe the most effective way to assist in building a correct understanding of rules and how to apply them is by watching videos with annotation, diagrams and shading to highlight key teaching points. Taking away and remembering specifics on a rule is easier when visual aids are used to present in a way that is easy to listen to and understand.

The Officials Institute, and the 5 Play Challenge segment, creates videos in a fun and interesting way to test your ability to properly recognize specific plays, but don't leave you guessing about whether there was a foul, violation or not. Even though we cannot officiate in slow motion or freeze frames, by watching and reviewing video video in this fashion, we are able to "retrain our brain" so we can start seeing plays more accurately when we do see them in real time and increase our ability to get the call right.
