We all know that the semi cirkel we call the threepointline is an important part of the court right? We stumbled upon a very nice clip that will amaze you. Hit us with your own version of this play and tell us how many tries it took you to record it š
Since we are targeting referees here we also have a nice question: Do you count this score and how many points will you award if this happens in your game?
New version of the Official Rulebook!
We have a new updated edition of the OBRI. It’s in down here below the break. On the different forums we’ve already seen the question: where are the interpretations. Still it’s interesting to check and to have the most recent version. Enjoy reading! Lees verder “New version of the Official Rulebook!”
Is it a travel or not?
We always need to watch the steps of the players in order to see if they are in a traveling violation or not. This clip from Refstyle is a cool one that had us play the clip over and over and over again. What do you think and why? Lees verder “Is it a travel or not?”
To whistle or not to whistle?
The situation in this clip is kinda the textbook example of the essential question: am I blowing my whistle yes or no?? Off course there is rules, but we also have common sense. But let’s hear what you guys are giving in this situation: Are you calling or not??? and please share the ‘why’. It’s more interesting than just Yes or No.

There’s a lot going on here. What do you call?

What is your decision and why?
If you can’t explain it don’t call it could be the motto on special Officiating’s Cool refereecoach shirts but that remains still an item for our bucket list ;-). It is tho very applicable to the way we work. We invite everybody to share their call in a certain situation and explain why they decide so. That’s the very best way of helping eachother improve their knowledge and their memory for future situations. This clip is from a game some seasons ago but the question is clear (alltho we agree we could have clipped it a little bit more fluently. We’re working on our skills there)< Lees verder “What is your decision and why?”
Another (possible) violation: Are you calling it or are you not?
Well that turned out to not even be a unanymous clip our previous clip about the travelling rule. So let’s get into another situation where the question is: Are you calling a travel or do you think: ‘Nah, I’m good’. Off course the part you are writing behind the ‘because’ is highly appreciated. We are trying to break down in clips what we see, so we all fully understand what’s happening in the play. That way as soon as we’re back on court (being it tomorrow or next season) we’ll be able to recognise the play and make the right call.
