Referee training

[TADW_Elessar]

There is no official "FIBA casebook" (besides the "Official Interpretations" which you already have if you visited the FIBA.com downloads page), but most national federations use to write their own.
The "FIBA guidelines for referee education" DVD is almost essential and it is also legal to make copies: you may consider dividing the price among a group of local colleagues down there. It would really be worth it!

The 2004 FIBA casebook that I have and issued for the 2005 season has 112 pages and was written for FIBA by Fred Horgan, official rules interpreter of FIBA Americas in collaboration with Mr.Lubomir Kotleba, FIBA sports director and Mr. Valentin Lazarov, the senior member of the FIBA Technical Commission, cheers.
