RULE NO. 2—OFFICIALS AND THEIR DUTIES
Section V—Time and Place for Decisions
a. The officials shall have the power to render decisions for infractions of rules committed either within or outside the boundary lines. This includes periods when the game may be stopped for any reason.
b. When a foul or violation occurs, an official shall blow his whistle to terminate play and signal the timer to stop the game clock. If it is a personal foul, he shall also designate the number of the offender to the scorer and indicate with his fingers the number of free throws to be attempted.
c. When a team is entitled to a throw-in, an official shall clearly signal the act which caused the ball to become dead, the throw-in spot and the team entitled to the throw-in, unless it follows a successful goal or an awarded goal.
