Day 3, 6th September 2019, Friday
Another day another game! So here we go with the day 3. We could noticed that some of referees had under- eye pouches but I’m sure it was because of cutting clips in the night.
Good Communication – Day 2
Day 2, 5th September 2019 Thursday
Yesterday was a long day with a lot of lectures so now it’s time for an action. A bit of tiredness was beaten by the excitement for the games what we could see on courts. The games started at 9:00 on 4 different gyms. This year our campers are lucky to work not only with the camera glasses but also with blucom system (which is a referees wireless voice communication system). It matches Radom Camp perfectly by allowing the instructors to communicate with referees on the court during a game. Besides the tips given by our mentors we can also hear some complements that campers give to each other 😀
Nice voice!’ – Paulina
‘I have to watch you more’ – Bastian
Today’s day plan was very busy. There was only one quick break for a lunch and after that the games continued. In the evening there was time for a feedback when Richard was speaking about key areas. He refered to already officiated games and reminded campers what handchecking is. To make it easier to understand he prepared video clips which being discused for sure helped to absorb this knowledge. When it comes to use of hands go with ‘Tough not rough’ says Richard.
The last came feedback by Todd who talked over diferent clips and situations from today’s plays. Now everyone knows what they need to work with and improve tomorrow.
Well done refs! Keep working!

Competing with myself – Day 1
Day 1, 4th September 2019 Wednesday
The day started with the arrival of our campers and instructors. From 11 to 13 there was time to register for a camp and receive equipment.
At 13:45 KUBA welcomed everyone and later on started the first lecture which focused on rotation and looking for a better position on the court. All his ideas and examples were followed by video clips. Things to remeber:
- Call what you see
- Watch primary
- Always look for the best position
- Do not guess
- Rotate
- Eye contact communication
Richard Stokes told us about game control and game management. The skills we need to control and manage a game are definitely : an image, to know your craft, mechanics, clock management, technical fouls and excuses ,communication and high level decisions.
The difference between a sucessful officiating and the rest is?
Not a lack of strength
Not a lack of knowledge
But more usually a lack of will and motivation
‘ I’m competing with myself, no with others referees’ – Richard Stokes
This quote should be followed by every referee who wants to be on the top one day.
Todd Warnick came to us with lecture about the Criteria – fouls and violations
He emphasized the importance of our basketball rules knowledge. According to Todd our Toolbox (rules, interpretations, guidelines, ‘customs’) should be read by everyone and everywhere even in the bathroom 😀
He drew campers attention to not only focus on the player with the ball but observe a defender whose often responsible for the contact.
Remeber: Protect the Shooter!
Sretan’s speech included contacts, drives to the basket, block/charge. Based on video clips he talked about different situations which were discussed among our campers. Sometimes the verdict was clear but a few times the votes differed from each other and the clip was needed to be watched again.
There is no camp without Sasa so after the dinner break we all came back to the lecture room for the speech about screens. He remind us about what’s legal and illegal. Also explained how to referee pick and roll. All of it was of course followed up with clips which helped campers to understand this move.
Now we are ready for tomorrow’s games!
