Hello everyone,

I just wanted to share a website with everyone. It is a social media site for only officials and it is designed for user-supplied video clips of plays and situations. It is completely free and will allow users to upload their plays, comment on videos, search through the archived categories of videos and interact with fellow officials by adding them to a friends (or partners - as basketball officials commonly refer to each other as) list. The website is:

Share. Interact. Get Better.|Whistleshare

Enjoy.

So, I didn't get an email and you have no way to request that it be resent.

BTW, since you offer a website to post video, discuss plays and ask questions, wouldn't that put you in direct competition with this site??????

Not the first time there have been links advertised on this forum that are in direct competition with this site/forum. Won't be the last.

Actually the site does not really compete with this site at all. All they do is house a place where videos can be shown. I am not aware of an equivalent discussion board or even a place where they produce information in the same way. We did have a few people that frequent this board advertise this their site which was practically in direct competition with this site and no one did anything. I think it is a little overreaction to suggest this is out of bounds when the site does almost nothing that we do here. It is more of a YouTube for basketball officials.

Peace

Yep, and this site was once called ereferee.com. Referee magazine sued and Brad was forced to change the name. And those two sites had NOTHING in common. BTW, I've never subscribed to Referee again.

It's Brad's call but personally, I wouldn't allow another website to advertise on my website.

JMHO. You're entitled to yours.
