Has anyone looked into the book being offered now through Referee Magazine - something about methodologies for evaluating officials? I'm planning to order this book but would be interested in anyone's review.
The title is: Evaluating Officiating Performance
and the cover shows:
Excellent Officiating Defined
How to Run An Effective Evaluation Program
Model Evaluation Form & Essential Guidelines
Price: $12.95, NASO $10.35
I see NASO has a Special Report of the same title. Price is only $5.
As a new officer in an association of approximately 100 Basketball Officials without a valid evaluation program I could use some guidance.
I also recognize that an evaluation program must serve two functions (maybe more?): 1) improvement of the officials, and 2) ranking for season assignments and tournament play. Please address your comments to these functions.
