Just came across your forum when surfing around today.
Has anyone here had experience refereeing outside of the USA? I have been refereeing for 10 years in Australia and wouldn't mind bouncing a few ideas off you guys.
Just remember if it is not FIBA, we don't see it in Australia..... There is no hallowed circle of exile painted under our hoops..... :-)
I referee in our ABA (2nd highest league in Australia) and have refereed finals at numerous national championships. I would just like to hear a little bit about the refereeing scene in the states and has there been cases where international referees have been successfully integrated into the USA circuit?
I look forward to reading your replies
Cheers,
Daniel

G'day Daniel,
As you may have heard - I am the "resident" Aussie here. Although I have only just returned to refereeing after an 18 month break. Where abouts are you? I lived in Sydney up until 2 years ago, when I moved to Tweed Heads. Anyway, gotta go teach a class - but will check in more regularly from now on.
