I am sure that our members who live in the Great White North can enlighten us regarding how the process in Canada works. Thanks.

In Canada, there are presently 14 FIBA licensed officials. I'm not knowledgeable about all the details but I do know that each provincial association can nominate candidates to Canada Basketball. From there, the numbers are narrowed down and those nominees attend a tryout camp which is normally in conjunction with a tournament. Very few are nominated and fewer still are selected. The 14 officials on the list are all top notch university officials in Canada.

I would assume that USA Basketball does something similar. Whenever I see an international tournament being refereed by an American official, they are always NBA or NCAA Division 1 officials.
