It’s often the type of calls that will get you the most -let me put it nicely- feedback from players and coaches. Are we talking charge or block here??
In the early stages of one’s career when you think: Damn, it’s pretty cool this officiating thing! it’s really hard to understand the type of things you witness on court. Hence why FIBA teaching materials are such a great invention! Grab your rulebook and try to get what’s happening in the situations you will see in the clip below. Lees verder “Come on ref! He was moving!”
Let’s dive into that Alba Berlin game once more. You guys seem to like it because the numbers of visitors are going through the roof this week. Awesome!!
Yesterdays post was a huge hit, so here’s another one. Check in the clip below and share with us: what would you do? Blocking? Offensive? Flopping? No call? Something else??
Contact does not have to be very hard to have an influence on the game. But we must avoid calling all contacts. Are you still following?
Referee University has made a nice video about pushing, Handcheck and other arm/hand contact fouls! If you want a in depth look of those plus on and off bal scenarios : check the video below! 
We’ve stated before that covering your violations will make life a lot easier on the court. And we even dare stating teams will be thankful for that. Check the following clip and share your call and the reasoning with us. Do you award the bonus?? Or did you see something else? If you award the bonus, what will be the defensive player’s reaction if it’s his fifth foul??
You always have to expect the unexpected. And preseason games are awesome occasions to train stuff. In the following clip a lot is happening. We probably all agree on the foul on the shooter. But what for the rest that is happening?? Share your opinion and let us know what you call and why!
In the clip below we see a drive to the basket and a situation that has one of the coaches lose his mind. Luckily we can replay the play over and over again to understand and dissect what is happening. That way we will be familiar with the situation once it happens in our own games. What will you do in this drive situation? Foul yes or no?
At least one thing will be talked about in the pregame for our preseasongame tonight. It’s out of bounds mechanics. Especially if you’re blocked by some players it’s wise to see if your collegue who might have had an open look is agreeing with you on the play. That way things like in this clip will not take place. How do you solve situations like this?
We love it. Charge/block situations. And judging from the number of viewers on the charge/block clips you’ve found on this website we’re not alone here.
