Block Charge flop? Or even something else?

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?”

The final two minutes of a game

In the final 2 minutes of the game, you have to have eyes in the back of your head
We all know that in moneytime the game will be on the line. Some people freeze during stressy situations, others need that pressure to elevate their performance. George Postalian is a Canadian referee and refereecoach who conducted an interesting lecture for Basketball Canada. We like to share it with you. Lees verder “The final two minutes of a game”

Get plays right! Baseline or two shots???

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.

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!”

The first female FIBA referee from Italy: Silvia Marziali

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?

Sometimes you wish you had ten collegues in a crew

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?”
