North Texas Basketball Officials Association (NTBOA)

Being the "The Chapter Of Choice" it is important that we all know the rules and can apply them accordingly during the game. As a tool to keep the rules at the forefront of officiating, each week during the season we send out the Rule of the Week. To see previous rules sent out, please clink on the links below.

Also, the NFHS has teamed up with The Arbiter to provide our Rule Book, Case Book, Officials Manual, and the Basketball Handbook online. Please click on the images to the right to explore these books in detail.

A powerpoint presentation outlining the 2011-2012 Rule Changes can be viewed by clicking on this link: 2011-2012 Rule Changes. Also, a quick pdf summary can be viewed by clicking here 2011-2012 Rule Changes Summary.

The NFHS allows state associations to approve their own exceptions and the UIL has made a few of these for this season. Please click here for the UIL Basketball Rules Exceptions 2011-2012.

If any of you have any rules questions or suggestions for future rules, feel free to send them my way by emailing me at jason@integritybp.com. Please keep in mind that the UIL has placed a heavy emphasis on rules and test scores will be taken into consideration for post-season assignments.

Thank you,
