IOT Fundamentals!
Individual Officiating Techniques (IOT) is the most important foundation for either 2 Person Officiating (2PO) or 3 Person Officiating (3PO). It is evident that in the past 15 years there has been a heavy focus

If you cannot explain it, don’t call it!
Our clipping hero Sam Subby is always in for a nice situation. The foul in the clip is one to thoroughly watch and understand what happens. What will you call and why?? Remember the motto of our coaches: ‘If you cannot explain it, don’t call it!’
Always work to get in the right position!
You need to go where you gotta go , to see what you gotta see. It has been our motto for ages, and we might have it printed on t-shirts if we ever decide to take that turn. For lead referees that means that you have to be on the baseline the moment play is on the freethrowline, so work for it! In this Sam Subby clip we have a situation where the calling ref is pretty nicely in the right position. But a lot of things can be called. What will you be calling in this situation?
