Duane I just read your profile and only then did I realize that you're a teacher and didn't need my pedagogical lesson. My aplogoies...I have should have been more careful. I'm still interested in how the class turns out. What history do you teach? Need any U.S. history teachers down under who can also call b-ball and misses rugby? Is this a job application? Okay... |

The first game I ever reffed, I did it informally without any training. It was for an alumni league game at my old high school. The thing I remember is that I kept on second guessing myself. I kept asking myself, "Did I really see that contact?" I ended up not blowing the whistle for the whole first half and heard an earful from players, and I deserved it. Not deserving because I didn't have former experience, but because I wasn't prepared for the job and wasn't doing it efficiently. My partner told me at halftime he understood that it was hard to make that first call, to hear that whistle blow and your own voice telling everyone what you saw. He told me that foul calls had everything to do with one player gaining an advantage over another through contact. I think even the first call I made, I wasn't sure if I actually saw the contact but blew my whistle anyway. It got much easier after the first whistle was blown.

I would start off with mechanics, primary coverage area and basic ternminology.
This should give them something to think about before lunch and after lunch, do a check on learning to see what they have retained.

I specialise in Modern European History (focusing on Germany). Unfortunately Australian schools don't teach much US History, except for WW1, WW2 and Vietnam. But we sure do need Basketball refs - so come on down!!

Well the course went pretty well. We focused on four main areas:
- Game Administration - Communication - Violations - Fouls It was a small class (10 people) and thankfully all had played basketball for several years. So at least they had a rough knowledge of the rules and concepts of refereeing. I'll keep you posted as to how they go. Next week they will all be refereeing between 1/2 and a whole game with me to get some practical experience and tips. Will be interesting to see how it goes. Thanks heaps for everyone's advice - it was greatly appreciated and really game in handy.

I'd make a few introductions, and then get them out of their seats onto the court. That's where they will learn, either by going through the various signals, or learning about court positioning.
If you can tell them to bring whistles, even better. You can fold rules talks into the court by having some walk throughs with several people acting as "players." Set them up for free throws, jump balls, etc. and have folks rotate around as officials -- 2 and 3 man. |

Thanks, Oz. Glad the course went well. If I could figure out a way to get down under to teach and call some hoops I'd be there. C-Dog |
