You guys seem to be enjoying the clips we put on. The views are going through the roof these days!  So here’s another one from last years Worldcup. We sincerely hope to be able to watch games soon with people in the stands, cuz it looks much more like the real thing to us. But what do we take from this one?? What’s your decision?

As we cannot stress enough the importance of understanding clips to become a better referee, the same goes for: Cover your violations. It will make your life on court very much easier. The play in this following clip should not bring too much troubles, but still: be aware of the possibility it happens! Make sure you see what is happening, for there can always be that player of coach who will challenge your call. And if you can’t explain your call, don’t bother calling it!

After a short break due to other obligations we’re back with a nice clip where an interesting situation occurs. We’re curious: What would be your call and why??And let us be frank: the why is much more interesting than the what. Let’s help eachother understand why we call stuff in the way we do. It’s the first step to understanding what is unfolding before our very eyes. Lees “What you gonna do?” verder

Let’s tip off the day with a play that should not be too hard to call. But in the answers we’re looking for the full package: What do you call and why? And how will you proceed?

Times like these are excellent to make eachother better referees. Be as specific as possible!

We had a lot of feedback on our clip with mister Westbrook earlier. So it might be nice to go a little more into the act of shooting. Alltho this one is another clip from NBA we’re working with FIBA rules on this site, and we are curious: are you counting the basket yes or no and what will be the decision? Freethrows? Baseline?? Thanks refstyle for the great clip. Lees “Whoops! Count it or not?” verder

Smart players can provide situations that you’d have never imagined before. Check out this clip of NBA-star Russell Westbrook and let’s get our FIBA Rulebook to see what we would call. Act of shooting yes or no?? Are we counting the ball going in? Let’s hear it ! (and please explain! 🙂 ) Lees “Smart players #chapter2” verder

The never ending debate reaches new levels with this Sam Subby clip. Block charge flop to us is like a doo-wop a capella song. Too bad we don’t know if Sam is a good singer 😉 .  Tell us what you have on this play and please be so good as to tell us why you are calling it this way.

It might be interesting to do another breakdown of screening in a few days, because we are hearing a lot of misconceptions about the rules as far as it comes to screening. A nice play from last years world cup to get our motors running. What will you call in this clip?? Share your opinions and tell us why. Explaining the call will help you get deeper in the subject, and your collegues might learn from it! #gettingbettereveryday

In our IG stories we had a great clip in the weekend over a screening situation. Some of the people that reached out to us had the idea that screening always should be face to face. Well: no! In the following clip there’s a nice example of a with-the-back screen that is perfectly legal. It ends with a lovely play were we can call a lot of things. We are very curious to see what you are having! Let’s make eachother better!
