Question Officials are role models?
I never knew I was one. I guess I was wrong, at least according to these guys.

Good article. It raises a good number of points and topics for discussion.

I didn't see "Take your meds" under the "Referee's Checklist."

You'd think that would be #1 on the list!

No. We all know what the #1 rule for officials is.

You are 100% correct. We all know. All of us. Every single one of us. So I'm 100% certain that it's not necessary for you to remind us.

Decent article. I am not sure what all of that has to do with being a role-model. That sounds like it has more to do with being a good official. I always think parents and coaches play a bigger role for kids as they do not look to us for guidance in most things. We are authority figures they hardly know.

Peace

I would wish they did not show a travel that was not a travel by a bobble. I was not able to see the video the first time as I was reading this on my phone.

Did anyone watch the other videos than the one that is at the start of the page?

The reason I asked I am watching this about commending players, communicating with coaches. These are many things I would not do or not stop play to do. I have no problem with the comments of the girls on the floor and they called a jump ball, but not telling the player about a good throw-in. That to me goes a little far. I really did not like how the official stopped what he was doing to talk to a coach which appears to be about another official's call.

Peace

Blue shoots and misses. White rebounds. Official stops the game to warn a blue player about the lane.

I don't find this acceptable at any level.

Then in another clip the official calls a double dribble and stops what he is doing to explain it to him. What???? I am not doing that either. Not on minor violations like that I am not.

The taller white guy's visible count mechanic looks like the foul-tip signal in baseball.
