We never can say it enough: Thank you Sam Subby for the awesome clips you select and upload. Without your effort we would recognize less situations and therefor be less skilled referees. This one is a very nice and difficult clip. Are you going for Block, Charge, Flop or perhaps even a no-call? We’d love to read your opinion! Lees verder “Block Charge flop? Or even something else?”

CABO Points of Emphasis
We think it’s smart to sometimes just dive into the rulebook and refresh some pages. Yes, we are happy that there are organisations as Basketball Canada that make a clip out of it to play it on our headset while driving home after work. ;-)Click on’lees verder’to see the presentation they made Lees verder “CABO Points of Emphasis”

Get plays right! Baseline or two shots???
Luigi LaMonica is probably the best referee we have in Europe. If you have time just pick one of his games and run the tape, watching his movements, his signals, his teamwork, his communications. It’s really amazing. In this short clip we see him too. The question is pretty clear: Do you want to award baseline for the foul committed, or are you shooting two??
Protect the shooter!
Players are getting smarter and faster, so we as the designated referees should develop accordingly. That means we have to be aware of what happens when players are in the act of shooting. Shooters will try to make believe they were hit against the rules, but that is not always the case. And still we need to protect the shooter. A player in the air is vulnerable. If we don’t watch carefully players will get hurt. And to avoid that we have to protect the shooter. Lees verder “Protect the shooter!”

Traveling (refresh)
We cannot stress enough that it is important to understand what’s happening on court. The good thing with clips is that you can play them over and over to get them in your system. This video from the Italian Federation is very useful, even if you don’t speak the language. We have several Italian followers so it is with great pleasure we salute the makers of this video.

Now what?
We will never try to tell you that officiating is easy. Off course you can make it easier on yourself in a number of ways: being in the right spot, looking at the right area of responsability, decent knowledge of rules and interpretations and so on. We absolutely feel that checking clips will help you improve. If you analyse clips, being it high level or your own games, you will grasp the essential of what has happened, and will be able to recognise things happening in one of your coming games. That said… Lees verder “Now what?”
