Bball Referees and Referee Rant Present to you: The Foundations of Officiating. This is in the same vain as our Referee Roundtable and our Virtual Camp: A Camp About a Camp. In it, we go through some attributes of what it takes to be a good referee to elevate to the highest levels possible. Our second subject matter, Commitment: another cornerstone of being a good official on and off the court. Be sure to check out at least two drops a week, and expect something special up our sleeves. And now, Tales from the Third Team.
