Let me know what you think

[kgeorge0263]

Please feel free to give me feedback on an official's powerpoint I made for our official's training for student officials. It uses custom animation so officials move during plays. I'd love to take people's suggestions and make it better!

I think the information is basically good. I think that you should reduce the amount of information that is on some of the slides. It is better if you are giving the presentation to talk about the minute points rather than have them all on the same screen at once. You should add a slide or two for some of those early information. Or cut out some of the bullet points all together and just talk about that information.

Now if this is something that others will have access to, then it might be OK, but I would still like to see less information.

I have for the last several years done several presentations and I learned that if you want to hold the attention of the people, you need to not have so much for them to read. You need to talk and describe many of your points.

Nice.

Thanks for the feedback. Credit needs to be given to Donnie Eppley at IAABO. As I purchased the E-court software and took some things from it to make the presentations. You are correct about taking away so much information and just get the officials to visualize positions, where to go, areas of coverage, etc.

Saved to my favorites!

Word of caution for Firefox users: the presentation will not appear in Firefox. I had to utilize the IE tab add on in order to view the presentation. Other than that it looks great!

Totally agree with your points JR. If you can keep the slides brief and bulletted then you can talk on each bullet point. Actually showing young officials what you are talking about is even a greater benefit (ie. show them what a travel is and is not, what and when a backcourt violation is, etc.) Other than that, the content is good. Good luck.

Nice work. I agree - lots of text, but nice.

Are those pictures from the NCCS Championships at THE OSU last spring?

And the guy on slide 28 should get his pinkie disorder checked out.

Not here. Worked perfectly in Firefox 2.0.0.4

If you're using this for training new IM officials, it's probably a bit too much. As a refresher, it looks pretty good, although some slides are a bit busy.

The one thing I'm uncertain about, though, is your last-second shot directive:

"–If shot is released before buzzer, whistle when ball finishes"

What do you mean by this? As several others on here have pointed out before, the whistle should not be sounded while the ball is still in flight, as it will cause the ball to become dead.

Sounds to me like he is saying to wait to blow the whistle until the try finishes. That is totally correct.

It does? I don't have my books here, but that doesn't sound right to me.

It isn't right.

It also brings up the (unresolved) argument about whether you should blow your whistle at the end of a period also.

I know my wife doesn't like that.
