You need to go where you got to go to see what you got to see. We should print it on t-shirts (hmm, not such a bad idea). And don’t only follow the ball please! You might miss some things! Let us know what your call would have been! Lees verder “What’s your decision??”
At officiating’s cool we are always looking to help referees improve. If you want to become a better referee there are lots of things you can do. Internet is stacked with clips and instructions.

Since a couple of years we’re dealing with the no charge semi circle as the official wording is in the official rules. Took a while for me to build it into my system I have to confess (and I know some people think I still haven’t mastered it yet 🙂 )
Peter Smith uploaded a great video with good and decent explanation. Mind you: the rules have already changed a bit: a defender should have at least one foot in or on the area to be in the required spot! Lees verder “No charge zone… explained !”
I’m sure that everybody studied the new traveling rules over last summers, and let’s be honest: we know better than coaches and players who are complaining. Let me ask that one again: Do we really?

Okay season has started for lots of us. Yours truly was on court twice last weekend and had to give his first Disqualifying foul in like 12 years. But the game is on! That means we need to up our game. No more freeweeling like perhaps in preseason sometimes is the case. It’s time YOU make the call!

After last seasons refresh of the rules, it’s always nice to find somebody who has been playing with the same rules, and is better at video-editing than your faithfully.
Clips and explanation about U fouls!
One of the best things about season being on its way again is the return of the never ending ‘charge/block’ situations. One can never see too many clips so we have a new nice one. Several nice situations in the clip below. Why don’t you take some to your pregame next weekend and talk about them in your team. Might help a bit in finding the same line!

Most of you referees will have at least a little past as a player. And I don’t know about you guys but I always hated those opponents hands all over my body.
