In our association the R is always assigned so we know
who is is before hand. The pre game is the referees responsibility and he (knowingly or not) will set the tone
for the ball game. For H.S. our pre game will start 45 min
prior to tip off I try to keep mine positive and profesional
this helps us get into the right frame of mind. I will first go over rule changes and then each official will discuss
their duties pregame-jumpball. I will then cover court coverage, primary areas, press coverage, deadball mechanics,
FT and inbound plays. I will then go over our halftime and end of game plan and also a fight plan. Last we will go over
anything anybody has about the teams that are playing or any
thing that the others need to bring up. The pregame should not be a lecture from the Referee but a chance for all of us
to come together as a team so everyone should be involved.
