G'day Coach,

Look the presentation went pretty well (I think). While none of the participants had any refereeing experience, they were all pretty experienced players, so had a sound grasp of the rules.

As well, Basketball Australia has put together a really good introductory package, with a video and power-point presentation that outlines the responsibilities of referees and some basic rules and mechanics stuff. Certainly made my job easier.

I suppose the real test will be next week when I get them on the court refereeing with me. I'll keep you all posted.
