So, how many of you have read this book and what are your impressions and would you recommend it?
Can you suggest other non-technical basketball referee books?
Thanks,

Bill Topp is the VP of Publishing and Management Services for Referee Magazine.
Carl P. Schwartz is a well-respected soccer referee and assessor. He is also involved with Referee Magazine as the soccer coordinator. I didn't know that he had anything to do with basketball officiating. However, he can definitely impart some wisdom about officiating in general that carries across all sports. I know that he is the author of a similar book entitled "Smart Soccer Officiating" that is produced by Referee Enterprises (parent company which publishes Referee Magazine).
