Correctable Errors. That is the topic of this months live OI meeting. (previously recorded)

This video is a recording of a live online meeting held, October 21, 2021, hosted by Officials Institute Chairman of the Board, Joshua Schroeder. This topic of this meeting covered video clips of correctable errors. The Officials Institute holds these meetings each month, educating basketball officials on the proper way to see and rule on plays over a variety of rule topics. The Officials Institute believes that watching and discussing videos, such as these correctable error situations, in a group helps build confidence in understanding how rules should be applied and using this format creates opportunity to receive instant feedback from other officials. Being able to ask questions while analyzing a play is invaluable to learning and relearning what we already know or think we know about a rule. This method also allows us to learn together by continually discussing the rules as they are written but exploring alternative philosophies such as a common sense approach and using and applying rules as they are intended. All videos shown are actual high school basketball videos.

The video of this online meeting includes 8 different video clips, all revolve around the topic of correctable errors.

Video #1 - Version 1
- A foul was called, with #25 shooting bonus free throws but wait, #11 is at the line. Once the officials are notified of the error, is it still correctable?
Video #1 - Version 2
- Same clip but this time the officials realize the error sooner. Correctable?
Video #1 - Version 3
- One more time and the error is noticed even sooner. Correctable Error?
Video #2
- Foul was called with seconds left in the 1st half. The penalty should have resulted in bonus free throws the but the officials awarded a throw-in in error. The ball becomes live and the horn sounds to end the half. Now what? Is this a correctable error at this point?
Video #3
- Another foul and the player goes to the line for a one and one. Problem is it was only 6 team fouls. After play continues, another foul is called to stop the clock and the table informs the officials of the error. How can this error be corrected? What is the procedure?
Video #4
- A three point attempt is made but the player is standing on the line when he shoots. The Trail officials signals a successful three point and the scorer puts 3 points on the clock. Can we correct this?
Video #5
- Time is not running during play and the Trail officials eventually stops play to correct the issue, but how can we take time off? Do we know how long it wasn't running?
Video #6
- Another time issue with the clock not running. Where is our definite knowledge of time for this correction? Should we confer with each other before making a possible change?
Video #7
- It appears there is an issue with the book and a player may not have been entered into it. Is this error correctable? What about the behavior of the coach? How can we handle these issues?

Watching video clips is a good way to stay connected to the skill of officiating basketball but education and learning can more effectively be attained doing it in a group with some direction from a key speaker. Remembering specific rules and application of those rules is easier when visual aids are used to present in a way that is easy to listen to and understand.

The Officials Institute, and their monthly video review meetings, create a fun environment that allows participants to speak up and voice their opinions on plays without negative retribution or rebuttals. Everyone's opinion is worth something and adds to the overall learning experience that everyone should strive for, regardless of years of experience. Breaking down film in slow motion and freeze frames helps to "retrain our brain" so when we see the same plays in real time we are in a better position mentally to get the call right.
