Referee Program
Largest class of 1st year refs in many years. Very popular program with GF Families. 1st job for most.
Training for refs commenced at the beginning of October and continues through Thanksgiving and beyond. “Classroom” and “on-court training”
Top Coaches Complaints: Lack of calls made for contact fouls, rules knowledge, “swallowing” the whistle.
Top Ref Complaints: Coaches “helping” the ref make calls, uncontrolled parents, rules knowledge
Take the “ref exam” and test your rules knowledge! Feedback (good or bad) is highly encouraged! But
please give us feedback that is “teachable”.
Referee ProgramRule Reminders
Two or more players CANNOT defend the ball or player unless they are driving to the basket in boys grade 5 and below. Refs are being instructed to call this.
Please never confront on court ref with “comments” or questions. The desk ref is there to help during stoppages of play only.
Understand the GFHoops local rules and create a substitution flow chart for your game, particularly if you have an 8 player team
CoachesYou Are The Key to Our Success!
Model Positive Behavior –Winning & Losing Teach Children the Game Spread The Playing Time Manage Your Parents* Respect Referees Youth Coaches Have Fun!
Coaches Issues From Prior YearsDON’TS Flagrant Fouls. Running up the score Too many “coaches” yelling
during game Harsh coaching Improper substitutions Abusive behavior from
coaches to refs Coaches taunting each other Gaming the system
DOs: 5 pass rule, no press, no 3
pointers, change player positions
At most two assistants Be positive AND instructive Have a playtime game plan Control your
players/yourself – no trash talking and unsportsmanlike conduct
Behavior Incidents Last Year Issues
Spoke to several coaches after games
Behavior of assistant coaches deplorable in some instances
Parents and coaches battling on some issues
Harsh coaching styles addressed
Themes Parents thought refs
weren’t calling games closely enough and it was too physical
Parents thought their child was being called too frequently for fouling
Coaches/parents calling fouls out too often
Refs got intimidated – embarrassing to GF Hoops
Parent Messages Goal: Model Positive Behavior for the kids.
This is more than basketball. It's about teaching good sportsmanship.
Zero Tolerance: for verbally abusing the refs. They are an important part of our program. Contact your coach or Neal Abravanel...don't yell at the refs. Yelling raises the tension in the gyms and impacts the players
very negatively. Their play tends to get more physical and emotional and it
makes the situation worse. Remember: Our refs are kids.
Think - about the impact of yelling at children in a public forum
Coach Messages Same points as parents -- plus the following: You went to the Coaches meeting and know what
we expect. You acknowledged Code of Conduct when you registered.
You are the role model. You need to focus on positively coaching the kids, not
arguing calls. Most parents spoken to acknowledged that they
handled the situation poorly and were apologetic. We had mixed results with the coaches.
