Senior told me the last night his best tip to quality officiating. He said: "Knowing rules violations by observation is a skill of any successful referee. He went on to add these improvements - "make sure you have a well rehearsed set of "rule book quotes" that help address any player, coach, partner or assigner questions in reviewing your calls." "Quote the rule book in any discussion" His favorites are: "Legal/Illegal guarding Position" "Verticality" "Displacement" "Unsportsman- Like" "Team Control" "Judgement Call" Interesting message. Emphasis was not only on calling and managing a quality game but communication the rules <b>by the book</b> |
That's interesting, cause I was told that one of the knocks against me by some coaches in my area was I'm too "rule-booky" when I talk to them.
|
Without looking at the books, is the phrase "judgement call" actually used in the book?
|
No.
|
Most coaches I know, even at the varsity level, don't read rule books. I don't think it works well in any profession to use "the language of the trade" when conversing with a non-expert.
:rolleyes: Z |
