ABOA Interpreter Morgan Munroe released the following:

All ACAC officials,
It seems we’ve been inconsistent in our rule application regarding the players wearing T-shirts under their game jerseys.
Once again I’ll repeat this:

T-shirts are not allowed to be worn under a game jersey at any time regardless of color.
The following are permitted:

· Undergarments that extend below the shorts of the same dominant colour as the shorts.
· Compression sleeves of the same dominant colour as the shirts.
· Compression stockings of the same dominant colour as the shorts. If for the upper leg it must end above the knee; if for the lower leg it must end below the knee.

As mentioned players may wear a compression sleeve if it is of the same dominant color as the uniform top or compression leggings that extend below the shorts if they are of the same dominant color as the shorts. Players who choose to wear these articles will likely need to have 2 colors. One for their light and the other for their dark jerseys.

Officials please enforce these rules during warm ups by being observant for players who are not in compliance. Under no circumstances allow players to participate if they are wearing a uniform that is not in compliance with the current rule set.

Coaches I ask for your assistance by reminding your players of the necessity of following the uniform rules as set out in the 2010 FIBA rule book.

ABOA Interpreter Morgan Munroe today released a memo outlining two new Rules Interpretation Revisions. Read more...

ABOA Interpreter Morgan Munroe released the following:

The ASAA has adopted the FIBA rule changes for the 2010/11 season with the following exceptions:
· The restricted area (key) will remain as is
· The 3 point arc will remain at the current distance
· The “no charge” area under the basket will not be used

The following rule modifications are also to be used at the ASAA level.
· Half time interval – 10 minutes
· Teams can use either FIBA numbers (3-15) or non FIBA numbers (single numbers of 0-5 or two digit numbers as long as neither number is greater than 5)
· T-shirts may be worn under the jerseys as long as they are similar in color to the dominant color of the top of the jersey.
