It started as a much shorter list from my notes (bullet points) for a lesson to a group of students in a college level basketball coaching class. It got a little bit wordier when I converted my notes to a "handout" to be passed out to the class after my lesson. After that it became a full fledged article that has been published many times, in many different forms, over the years, both online, and on dead trees. I get private messages, or emails, all the time from those asking permission to use my "article", when no permission is needed because most of the points on the list have been suggested by other officials, many whom are members of this Forum.
(Note: Several years ago I maintained a list of Forum members who contributed to this list, a way of giving credit where credit is due. Unfortunately, due to a computer "crash" I lost this list. I figured it was gone forever, and didn't add any new contributers to the list, figuring it wasn't fair to the old contributers. Eventually I found the list online, but I've decided not to maintain this list for fear of not listing those who contributed in between the "crash" and the "finding", i.e., the "gap".)
