When I first started out, I heard the phrase "referee the defense". As I am getting a hang of that, I am starting to work on things like finding the "second rebounder" and officiating the "secondary defender".

What are some other advanced officiating techniques that I should know about?

Dive into the many subtelties of "game awareness".
i.e.
Your partner(s) just let a guard bump a kid all the way to the whole but didn't call it because the kid kept going to the hole.
Reading your partner(s) blood pressure level re: a fan, a coach, a player etc.
There are MANY MANY MANY others.

How about:

The patient whistle
Advantage/Disadvantage

That's twice lately I've seen the phrase "second rebounder." What is this about?

It means the player without inside position. Find that player on the rebound and it is easier to judge verticality.

You're right, it is easier. I guess that's why I've learned to do it without ever hearing anybody give the concept a name before. Thanks

AAR's suggestion is a good one. The play that he described is something that would make every official great if they can learn to do it. I call it a "flow of game" call. The first time the concept was shown to me, it really helped me out a lot. Paying attention to the flow of the game also forces you to be patient with whistles and watch a play develop. That goes hand in hand with advantage/disadvantage. Those are the types of advanced officiating concepts that can really help you develop.

Here's one or two, or....
1. Competetive match-up: A1 and A2 or A2 and B2 who are in your PCA .

2. PCA: Primary Coverage Area

3. Trust Your Partner, Referee the Defense, Concentrate on your Primary, Call the obvious

4. Manage the game with the lightest touch necessary (Don't overcall but control play)

5. Allow the product on the court to dictate the tempo of the game.

6. Communicate strength and control without being arrogant

7. Dead Ball Efficiency---Ball is dead we become more alive.

8. If you can't explain it, don't call it.

This one is not original:

Forget about refereeing the defense

Referee the matchup

______________________

After and/or during your pregame work on crew comfort so trusting your partner is easier.

On a side note: I just watched a replay of the Lanier versus South Gwinnett game that I taped (DVR) because it was in High-Def. Yuck!

Lanier S. Gwinette


tomegun: I assume that you are in the ATL area. By chance, did youget out to see any of the games in Gwinette on Wednesday? If so, I was in the Sandy Creek-Tucker matchup. If you saw the game, give me your opinion on the officiating.

Doesn't "trust your partner" kind of mean "concentrate on your own primary"? I've heard this same mantra except that instead of "concentrate on your primary", substitute "protect the shooter". I think it's a good starting point for a solid game.

No, I'm not in the ATL area but I know some officials from there. I recorded that game because Louis Williams and Monta Ellis were in it. Louis Williams and his teammate (forgot his name) were at the Nike Invitational in Indianapolis and I know they can go! Plus, the game was in high-def so I wanted to see it.
