What are the crew chief's main duties before, during and after the game?

Question

Accepted Answer

Under Article 47 the crew chief must:

Inspect and approve all equipment, designate the official game clock, shot clock and stopwatch, and identify the table officials.
Select the game ball from at least 2 used balls provided by the home team.
Not permit any player to wear objects that may cause injury.
Administer a jump ball at the start of the first quarter and an alternating possession throw-in at the start of all other quarters and overtimes.
Have the power to stop a game when conditions warrant it, and to determine that a team shall forfeit.
Make the final decision when the referees disagree, and decide on any point not specifically covered by the rules.
Examine, approve and sign the scoresheet at the end of playing time. The referees' power starts when they arrive on the court 20 minutes before the scheduled start and ends when the game clock signal sounds for the end of the game as approved by the crew chief.
Enter any forfeit or disqualifying foul on the reverse of the scoresheet, and send a detailed report to the organising body where required.

Referees are a crew chief and 1 or 2 umpires. Umpires cannot disregard or question each other's decisions (Article 48.7).
