Our season begins early September. I will ref very little because my daughter plays, and I'm a father before a ref. Still, I will not be ready ... even with the summer league I'm doing. |

I am a referee from the UK. In 13 days we have our National Conference. At 4.00pm on the Saturday you will see a large group of quivering men and me lining up to run the FIBA fitness test. In the UK we have to pass it in order to officiate in the National Basketball League (NBL). Do any of you guys have to do this or is it just our masochistic governing body that makes us do this?

How hard is it?

I had a PE test in Middle School. 40 years ago. Sounds like unnecessary muscle flexing on the part of Feeble Leaders. ...Abuse of power. Good luck with it. mick [Edited by mick on Aug 19th, 2001 at 10:44 AM] |

I must admit there are better ways of spending my time. In Europe the 'bleep test' is part of getting your international license. We just accept it as a part of refereeing over here. I don't really think that it effectively tests your game fitness, but I hear a rumour that some bright spark over here has devised a test that represents movement up and down the court in two man mechanics. I dread to think what it is.
Anyway I am off to the gym now as I only have eleven days and 18 hours to go until test time. |

Well, if I had to do it in order to officiate Hoops, then I would do it also. Good luck with it. Let us know what that is all about, please. mick |
