I am going to have to piggy back on what many people have said. Referee the defense is an "all the time" practice. You watch the defense so you are not surprised when contact occurs. And you do not just pay attention to the player guarding immediately, you watch the other players as well. So when a ball handler goes to the lane, you are not surprised when contact occurs.
Peace

The philosophy is not just about the verbiage and only the verbiage. This is about getting the average person away from only watching the ball handler and having a play blow up on them without see everything. If you just say "see the whole play" does not tell someone the defense is the key. After how can you call a block/charge call without knowing if the defender was not legal in their movement? Peace

But the OP is now having trouble keeping track of the offense, because he's doing too much Refereeing the Defense. I think for him, and probably others, See the Whole Play, with the appropriate explanations, will be more useful. |

Also seeing the whole play is about not making a call too quick before the result or advantage/disadvantage is determined. In other words making a block/charge call when the defender clearly flops applies as well. Or making a hand check call but the ball handler blows by the defender and has an opportunity for an easy lay-up or pass that leads to a easy lay-up. Just like anything in this world some people are going to get it and others will never understand no matter what terminology is. Maybe he will never understand or it was not explained to him properly. We call do not learn the same and we all do not pick things up at the same rate. But based on what he said I do not see this as an issue with the verbiage, I see this as an issue of having tunnel vision and not seeing everything around one or two players. He might not even have a good concept of the coverage area and how to move to get better angles in that coverage area. Peace

There's lots of good stuff on this thread. Kind of a nice suprise after all the NBA stuff that's been floating around here lately. My question is for the OP. How do you know you're missing calls? Are you watching tape, or do you just feel like you're missing stuff?

How about a check list of what is the most important?
1. Position: Be positioned to get the widest view possible, be positioned to see through the players. 2. Find the defense: I like find better than referee the defense since it doesn't lead to over focusing on the defender. 3. Know the status of the ball: Where is it? Have they dribbled? Which is their pivot? 4. Don't tunnel vision on the match up: Work to see through the on-ball match up, to include as many players as possible in your primary. You do all 4 and you will see the play, know LGP, won't miss violations by the offense, and won't be surprised by screens or secondary defenders. |

In determining how to make calls, I use the "WWESD" philosophy. It simplifies everything and I don't have to remember anything else.
Oh yeah. It stands for "What Would Earl Strom Do?" BTW (off topic) - my son has a T-shirt that says "WWSD - What Would Scooby Do?" on it.

The way I like to do it is think about what defense their in: zone, man, combo. Then break it down some more. This helps keeps me alert in games where we are at risk of drifting. |
