What topics have your associations presented?

Our board typically opens with discussion about what we've seen and we have a typically productive Q&A with our interpreter. Discussion then moves to other areas of common concern.

Our board coavers the most populated area in our state so we see a lot of different situations depending on where we come from, leagues we work, etc. We also have more officials than any other board so we have more situations to pull from.

Probably the best topic we ever had was in regards to what to do when game situations get out of control (due to circumstances beyond our control).

The only topics that I remember that are different than those posted are crew-of-three positioning and mechanics and free throw positioning and mechanics. The first was done with a demonstration on the court and then officials rotating into crew of three and officiating a rec league pick-up game. The second was an on-court demonstration and the opportunity for each official to be in each position during a make-believe free throw. The three whistle was a couple of years ago when such assignments started to become more common. The free three presentation was because positioning was becoming inconsistent and a bit of a problem within the local board.
