U fouls with examples
Let’s try and use this time away from court to good use. One of the things we like doing is getting back over the rules. And one of the things people still ask questions about is the U foul. Changed some two or three seasons ago and still often people are surprised if you call it according to the instructions FIBA issued. We found a nice vid we’d like to share. Take special notice to the examples!! Grabbing a players uniform or bodyparts is an unsportsmanlike foul people! Let’s not try to handle it otherwise. Lees verder “U fouls with examples”
Block Charge no call?
Slowly we’re getting a routine in working at home these days. It can be expected that our production that has suffered a bit from the COVID19 circumstances should slide back to more regular levels again. Here’s a clip from our man Sam Subby!

Cover your violations! Like carrying
We cannot stress it enough. Even in times of COVID19 ;-): Cover your violations!! Players and coaches will focus on themselves instead of on us as referees. And if you let go a violation like carrying and call the foul that comes , you are putting the defense on a MAJOR disadvantage.

Flopping clips
The collection of flops from NBA in the clip we found is hilarious sometimes, but a nice way to check if you can explain why you call the foul. As we always say: If you can not explain your decision, don’t call it! And yes, there are ways to train yourself in explaining your calls. Lees verder “Flopping clips”

Block/Charge/Flop
We can not get enough of the eternal discussion: Block Charge Flop? It seems like Euroleague doesn’t only provide some of the best athletes in the sport, but sometimes their artistic performances merit a standing ovation too. Or is the defensive players reaction in the clip from Sam Subby legit?? Perhaps there are even people who would call a blocking foul. Share your opinion with us and tell us why you pick that option. Cause: If you can’t explain it, don’t call it!
