1. No Hands on Hips EVER inside the lines
2. Don't dribble the ball on the court during a dead ball. You are not a player
3. When reporting fouls - use the correct signal. If he pushed, its a push. If we held, its a hold. etc.
4. Don't Chew Gum
5. When a time out is called, your feet do not move to go to your designated spot until both teams are in their respective huddle. Watch the teams
6. Trail to Lead - look back, don't just run down to trail with your back to the players.
7. If T is beat, C pick up and ref to baseline until Trail can get there.
8. T stay behind the ball in the back court
9. Lead referees 99% of the post on strong side
10. Block / Charge in the post - Fist only, yield to primary (pregame this play)
11. Call in your primary
12. Loose ball on the floor turns into scrum - TWO noses 5" from the ball
13. Technical Fouls - KNOW THE RULES
14. Intentional / Hard Fouls do not need a huddle. It is or its not immediately.
15. Talk to Coaches - he who handles coaches moves career forward.
16. No Bad Tosses - U1 blow it back.
17. When you kick a call, and we all do, your next two whistles should be 110% calls. This will get you back in the groove
18. Don't have to get the game back under control.
19. Huddles - at 1st Media and then end of game.
20. A block is a block. A charge is a charge an if there is ANY question what it is, its a CHARGE
21. When reporting fouls, do so from a spot on the floor where no player can pass between you and the table
22. On Subs, do not put ball in play until the old player is in the coaches box.
23. Be on floor at 30. Check out the court. Find things that will get you in trouble later so you are not surprised. IOW, dont just stand there.

1. why?
4. Why?
14. I disagree. I would want to conference with my partners and us come to an agreement if it is borderline. Now I can agree with it if it is an absolutely obvious call. I hope that is what you meant.
20. I guess this is just philosophy. did the clinician give a reason of why he says it should be a charge?

Are you serious?

Good Lord, I hope t'hell not!

If there's any doubt in your mind i.e. borderline as the calling official, then you don't call it. Ever. If you can't decide all by your little own self whether a foul should be called intentional/flagrant, then you don't belong on the floor at that level. You partners aren't out there to babysit you. If it's your call, then just call the damn thing. What makes you think that the other officials are watching that play in your primary anyway?

The clinician meant exactly what he wanted to say in #14. He wants officials with the nuts to make the tough call, instead of caucusing or taking a poll. Fwiw, I sureasheck agree with the clinician.

As much as I hate to admit it I agree with the cranky old b@stard.

Can't speak for the clinician, but my philosophy on this is the same for this reason: if the players know that we will send it the other way when the D is good and they go hard to the basket, they will pull up or they will sit down. The game is better,IMO, when the players are not going hell bent for leather to the basket, this philosophy helps that to not happen.
