Warming up
Warming up is an essential component of any physical activity, and basketball refereeing is no exception. It prepares the body and mind for the task ahead and reduces the risk of injury. Not only that, it shows the teams that are warming up you’re taking them seriously. There’s no way you’re going to keep up with the pace in the game if you’re not preparing to do so.

Cliptime! 8 second violations!
We have been saying for years now that it’s important to cover your violations. Covering those infractions of the rules will give you and your partner(s) control of the game. We’ve pointed out examples like traveling or illegal dribbles, but there’s more. French referee ace Nicolas Maestre has made a great series called Lun10 Clips (Lun-dix, like lundi, french for Monday) where he covers several interesting topics. Even if you don’t understand french it’s interesting. You’ll see clips and you get the option to say it’s legal or illegal. The clip will be replayed and then you’ll see the clip again with a red traffic light (it’s illegal) or a green traffic light (it’s legal). Explanation is offered in french, but we’re sure that you all have a copy of the offical basketball rules on your device. This time: 8 seconds. Lees verder “Cliptime! 8 second violations!”
