There are a lot of different signals that basketball referees, also called officials, use in the game. It can get confusing. This is a list of the different basketball referee hand signals and what they mean. The specific rules below are described in more detail on other pages (see links at bottom of page).
Note on Basketball Referees
Keep in mind that the referees are there to make the game better. Without officials the game would be no fun at all and they are doing the best they can. They WILL make mistakes. Basketball is a difficult game to referee. That's just how it is. Getting angry, yelling at the ref, and throwing a fit does no good and will not help you or your team. Just keep playing and listen to the refs regardless of whether you agree with the call or not. Move on to the next play. They are doing the best they can and are trying to make the game enjoyable for all.
