How To Become a Basketball Official
Basketball officiating is great if you are interested in being constantly active and closely involved with the game action. Basketball is also a sport you can officiate nearly year-round via school, club, AAU and amateur contests and therefore has a higher earning potential than many other sports.
Why Real Officials Love What They Do
“
You Meet All Types
You meet just about every type of person there is and you have to learn to deal with all of them in a manner that shows that you deserve to be called an “official.” You meet cheaters, schemers, geniuses and idiots. You meet talented, mediocre and middle-of-the-road people. No matter who you meet, you have to deal with them as people who deserve the best from you. No matter what age, talent, salary, race or sex, you must give your all. You are expected to be perfect and improve after that.
Rick EberhardtBuffalo, N.Y., a 36-year basketball official
“
It is the Best Seat in the House
I love officiating because of the challenge. It is by far the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. Unfortunately, we miss plays every night, but the challenge of trying to be perfect and get every play right is why I love it so much. There is no better feeling then walking back into the locker room with your partners and knowing that we worked together as a team and that we gave everything we had for those 48 minutes.
Ed MalloyNBA referee from Aston, Pa.
“
It Has Toughened Me Up
Because of officiating I see clearly that life moments often are not about winning or even losing. It’s about being the best you can be in that moment and accepting the outcome. Sometimes I may not like the outcome, but I accept it knowing I did my best and move forward. I’ve learned how to deal with difficult crowds; I have been called things my mother did not name me. I have watched winners lose and losers win. Each year I learn something that makes me a better official and a better person. Each year I meet people that inspire me and people who serve my life no purpose, but I learn from all of it.
Bertha MooreHigh school basketball official from Baltimore, Md.
Things To Consider
Physical Demands
Basketball officials are moving constantly. There are no opportunities for rest while play is ongoing because basketball officials need to adjust their positions constantly to see the action as player positions shift. You will run between 1 and 4 miles during a competitive basketball game. Most basketball games take place indoors, but because of the activity level, hydration is something basketball officials take seriously. As the players you’re officiating get older and the competitive levels increase, the physical demands also increase.
Mental Demands
Basketball officials work with one or sometimes two or three partners. You will shift between the lead position and the trail or center position many times per game, and thus, your responsibilities will change constantly. Basketball officials are also closer to the players, coaches and the fans than in other sports and must be able to focus and ignore distractions. You will also need to be able to handle hearing verbal criticism from the stands and sometimes communicate with coaches. Teamwork and support for and from your partners is crucial to success in basketball officiating.
Training
Basketball requires officials to move to different positions around the court, and be responsible for watching different parts of the action depending on where they are. To maximize your success, you’ll have to learn all these positions well. You can train yourself with rulebooks and manuals from the Referee Training Center, but you should also join a local officials association where you can expect lectures, demonstrations and exercises that will prepare you for what you’ll face.
Different organizations have different requirements, but most require at least attendance at a meeting to go over any current rule changes. Additional requirements may be a written test with a minimum passing score, payment of fees for the upcoming season and association meeting attendance.
Equipment
Polished, black, athletic shoes.
Black socks.
Black beltless slacks.
A striped V-neck shirt no collar.
A whistle and a lanyard.
Estimated cost: $200. Once you join a local officiating association, there may be veteran officials who are willing to give or sell you “hand–me–downs” to help you get geared up at a reduced cost.
Game Fees
Game fees vary widely based on the players’ age group, competitive level and the state you officiate in. The fees range from $20-$35 for youth games and $45-$150 for competitive high school games. To maximize your income, you can work a combination of levels several days a week, including weekend tournaments where you can work games all day. You can also work adult amateur, club and AAU basketball year-round to make reliable income. A basketball official working youth, high school and adult amateur games, with a full schedule, can make several hundred dollars per week outside their normal jobs. College officials make more and game fees increase with the level of competition. Many high level college officials and professional officials do not have other jobs, and live on their officiating income.
Certification
Here’s the path for starting and continuing your officiating career:
Youth Level
Many officials start at the youth level. Contact your local recreation department leaders. Your local association should also help you make contacts to get games. Parks & Rec departments offer youth and adult games in many cities and you can potentially work multiple games per day on the weekends for schools and independent organizations, enhancing your earning potential.
High School
After working youth games, you may feel you have the skills and confidence to work higher levels of competition. You may also start at this level if you have a good grasp of the rules and/or experience as a player. For jr. high games, ask your association leader or contact your school district. For high school games, you’ll need to work with an assigner through your local association. Any work with sanctioned school games requires you to be registered through your state, to prove you’re competent.
The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) is the nation’s governing body for high school athletics. Through them you can get all the information you need from your state to register and start the process to work High School sports.

In most cases, your state association can put you in contact with a local officials’ association. Local associations assign games, many times offer mentoring programs and assist in training.
High school athletic directors, association assigners and other officials can also get you games.
Plan to attend local camps and clinics. They are focused on helping officials learn and improve.
College
College basketball officiating is highly competitive. Officials with one year of youth experience would most likely not be a candidate even though there isn’t a designated number of years of experience to reach the college ranks. Obtaining a conference schedule and advancement within a conference is based on the league or conference. When first trying to enter a college conference, talk with officials who are currently in the conference. They can give you valuable information such as the conference commissioner and officiating camps to attend. College athletic directors or sports information directors can also be helpful.
You may start your career in the NAIA, work a NCAA Division III conference, advance to a Division II schedule, then on to a smaller Division I conference and culminate with a major Division I schedule. Attending officiating camps is an important tool to improve your officiating. Not only can you learn from experienced veterans, you can be seen by those who assign games at that level, most often conference commissioners or officiating supervisors.

Interaction between players and referees in basketball
Nikita Yamshchikov, founder of Ball In

What is the best way for players to address the referee? Some of them are extremely emotional... First of all, try to do without various gestures and spreading of hands, go-aheads and all other demonstrative things. Why? We all understand that this is all directed more to the public than specifically to the judge. I would suggest that if the judge has any history, or already knows him, then know him by name. This will be useful for establishing some psychological bridges. Of course, no familiarity. No YOU, Serega, Lech. Not! Even if you know a person, then only Sergey, Alexei. The most neutral is Ref. I hear it very often. Very short, clear and immediately clear to whom they are addressing.
What is the best way to tell the referee about the "hidden" fouls of the opponent, if he does not pay attention to them, because he simply does not see? Directly and say: “Ref, he is holding my shirt, pay attention to this. ” He will definitely look at it later and in the future should give an answer. Either start whistling these fouls, because he will understand that there really was an omission, or he will justify the player for what reason he does not give them. In case he saw the whole situation even before the player's appeal. He may even be asked to show this foul if, say, the player just stands still, and at that time he is being pulled by the jersey. But he stands still and no one sees it at all. This can also be.
What is the right way to show this foul? There is a situation in which, for example, there is a fight under the ring, where one starts to push the other with his elbows, but he does not really resist and starts to answer. If in this situation the judge believes that this level of contact is acceptable by both parties and no one has any complaints, then he does not react. Because everyone is happy with everything and the game is going well. But if you are being held with your hands, then let's say you raise your hands and show, they say, you see, they are holding me. But in no case do not brush aside and do not push away. There are situations when, in a fast break, due to the active display or imitation of a foul by the attacker, together with his shouting “Ai” and “Oi” during the throw, the referee believes him and gives a foul to the defender, although he barely touched or even flew past.
Rules change and judges sometimes, they reach long enough. Most often this happens on issues of jogging. The judges continue to whistle what is no longer considered a run. How to be in this case players? Here it is necessary that both the players and the referees are interested in what is happening around. You should always try to stay in the current trends, so to speak "in the subject." Regarding jogging, first of all, the automatism skill of the judge is needed here. It happens that the judge concentrates on contacts and simply misses everything else, and the whole hall groans, and he whistles a run intuitively, although he himself did not see it. This is about the mistakes of the judge, but the judges often just do not make mistakes. As for the amateur leagues, there is a problem. People who enter the court as amateurs often do not take seriously all the trends and changes. It's just a matter of learning and repetition.
There are a lot of referee courses these days, aren't there? Yes, such materials are now available and there are enough of them, but as practice has shown, monotonous and routine work is the most effective. That when an instructor comes up to you and says that you missed a run there or didn’t record a foul here. It is the view from an experienced person that helps to give yourself a really objective assessment and improve refereeing skills. And sometimes the look of young specialists also helps, because they point out what your eyes have already simply blurred and you have stopped noticing it.
For example, it is useful to watch a video on Sergey Mikhailov's YouTube channel.
Is there any special treatment for team leaders? This is a certain stereotype that stars are more cherished. Everyone is looking at them more. There is more scouting for them, they are more dismantled and evaluated. That is why, probably, they are paying more and more attention to what the judge whistled in their direction, and what did not whistle. But the authority itself, as in life, always matters. For stars, it manifests itself in the fact that they are better able to communicate, they are the best psychologists. Maybe that's why there is a perception that they are better treated. And about all sorts of “Ai” and “Oh”. It happens that this imitation plays just the opposite role. The judges study the stars and know their habits. Let's say Juan Carlos Navarro was a big fan of imitations, and the judges knew about it, as a result of which it sometimes played against him. All these chips are being studied. It even happens that there really was a foul, and the referee, being not in the best position or somewhere in motion, does not notice the situation. But since he thinks that the player imitated, he does not give any foul, although he really was. There is a very twofold situation here.
What advice can you give to players through the referee's eyes? 1. You need to learn how to properly communicate with the judges. Do not use phrases like: hello, hey, hey you, come here, but understand what he reacts to and, first of all, analyze his actions and try to measure what you are doing. Is it worth it to prove to the referee that you did not run, but with such expressions that you can get a technical foul? Sometimes it may not be necessary.
Example: I was at a children's mini-basketball tournament. The player performs free throws and suddenly one of his partners goes out of line ahead of time, and the one who threw will hit. What happens in this case? Nothing, we ignore it, count the hit and the game continues, because these are children. The main thing is to teach them basketball, and not cling to the rules.
And then a young referee, who is still inexperienced, but playing himself, puts another free kick. The coach begins to arise: “Yes, how so? Did he score?" He explains to him that when a free-kick is stepped on, he is interrupted. Well ... a young guy jammed, it happens. And the coach had two options: either go and beat on the parquet, or what he did. He stood for a while, showed a certain indignation, and then waved his hand saying "well, okay." He realized in time that the goal of the tournament was to teach children to play basketball, and not to put on a show on the court.
One should always measure one's rightness. And most importantly, is it worth it?
2. You need to analyze your actions. For example: a player receives two absolutely identical fouls in 10 seconds. In such situations, you need to watch the video. Sometimes we ourselves do not understand what we are doing. A video recording can greatly change the perception and understand that it turns out that I didn’t do everything perfectly. If you have a lot of complaints about refereeing, be sure to watch the recording of your game.
3. Stay on topic. Understand innovations and nuances, how a player can be on the same wavelength with the judges and understand what to look for in the game

Information on how to develop skills for beginner basketball referees
The situation in our basketball is such that there are problems not only with the emergence of new competitive players and coaches, but also with referees. Our arbitrators are currently practically absent at the top world and continental championships.
I have heard questions more than once, and the site periodically receives requests about how to become a representative of this profession in Russia? Where to start, where to study, how to get practice, and then a license and appointments for serious matches and improve your skills? Today we will try to sort out these issues. Not everyone can become professional players and coaches, but wants to stay in basketball, so why not take the refereeing path.
First, let's decide on a license. It is issued for 1 year and is required only for servicing matches of the Russian Championship. To get it, you need to pass 3 exams:
1. Basketball rules and interpretations (at least 20 correct answers must be given for 25 questions). 2. Regulations of the championship and superiority of Russia. 3. Metronome physical fitness test.
Top referees, and there are about 120 of them, who regularly serve the championships of the Premier League, Super League (women and men), take the rules twice a year, and physical training - the Metronome test 1 time. Those. if they pass a regional seminar in the autumn, they are admitted to the central seminar and take the same exams there. Those who successfully pass them receive a license for a year.
In January, a central off-season seminar is held, which highlights changes in the rules, corrects errors, sets some criteria and passes a theoretical exam only according to the rules and a running standard for physical training "Metronome" for field judges. If the current judge does not pass the winter exam, then he is not allowed to the second half of the season. Such cases happen.
Where to start? It is necessary to start, of course, with city competitions - first for children, then for students, for adults. In many regions there are Schools of the Young Arbiter, where classes are held free of charge. Novice judges go through a certain course and then, over time, begin to be attracted to the games of the children's championship of the city. After a person gains experience and practice, the referee committee of the regional federation recommends him to the championship of Russia, but there is also a selection system that allows children to referee competitions Championships of Russia. Further step by step, year after year on the way to the Super League, Premier League, VTB League. and FIBA.
Where to get knowledge? One of the sites that is suitable for obtaining up-to-date theoretical knowledge on basketball refereeing is ReferyPro.ru . This information portal contains the latest information on refereeing in Russia and the world. There are a lot of interesting and multifaceted things there: methodological materials, rules, video clips and recordings of seminars. The official representation of VKONTAKTE of this unique basketball portal for beginners, professional referees, as well as for all basketball fans is located at vk.com/referypro . The ReferyPro website was created by the School of Young Referees (SMA), headed by its leader - an international category referee and the head of the educational and methodological commission of the refereeing department of the RFB Fedor Borisovich Dmitriev with the support of the Moscow Regional Basketball Federation (MOFB).
In which regions are SMA held? In addition to Moscow and the Moscow region, these are St. Petersburg, Samara, Pskov, Omsk, Izhevsk, Novosibirsk, Kaluga, Khabarovsk, Rostov, Krasnodar, Voronezh, Yekaterinburg and some other cities. In particular, in Moscow, free lessons are held on Tuesdays. In the Moscow region - on Tuesdays, Fridays at the Moscow Basketball Federation or at games. But all this is still functioning separately, there is no centralized and organized work yet. A number of European countries already have well-established training programs for judges, while we are only on the way to this.
What is our representation in Europe? Last year we had about 15 FIBA referees. This includes 12 FIBA referees from Russia. Two years ago, the Euroleague was served by three judges: Semen Ovinov, Ilya Putenko and Alexey Davydov. Then only Semyon remained, although he gets more Eurocup matches. In addition, FIBA has now changed the system. It has become similar to football - the national federation, by its rating, together with FIBA, determines the circle of referees who are worthy to work at FIBA matches. They must comply with the requirements of the European, national championship and have no violations.
What judging events are coming up? In the near future there will be a departure of young judges for a seminar in Sweden by a delegation of 12 people. It will be a ScaniaCup tournament. In May, the educational and methodological commission of the Department of Professional Refereeing, together with the Moscow Regional Basketball Federation, will hold two camps on the basis of the championship of the Moscow Region among boys and girls at the sports base in Pokrovsky. Judges will be invited from all regions of Russia, as well as from Belarus, maybe from Kazakhstan. This will be the 10th such camp in 4 years. In June-July, there will be a trip to the clinic of referees in the NBA or the NCAA. Fedor Dmitriev, together with one of our judges, will go to study and exchange experience with those who hold this event. This will be part of the work of the educational and methodological commission. This happened already in 2016. Plus, in June, at the invitation of the Basketball Federation of Kazakhstan, for the third time a large camp is planned in Astana to work mainly with young referees. There will be 4 days of workshop and 3 days of work on the site with feedback and video analysis of each judge.
Fedor Dmitriev shared about the work of the School of the Young Arbiter and his mission:
“Now it is most important and effective for me to work with young people - from 14 to 25-30 years old. To lead the continuity of generations and train young cadres in the right direction, who will be chosen by the federation to serve the matches of the National Championship. Recently, together with Ostrovsky Evgeny and Davydov Alexey, we successfully passed the exams for the FIBA national instructor. Therefore, we would like to pass on the knowledge we have gained to the next generations. As the chairman of the WCU and the head of the School of the Young Arbiter of the Moscow Region, I consider it my task not only to competently educate young people, but also to control the correct implementation. Now I am adjusting my training program in order to involve young guys more, so that they not only listen, but do it themselves under our control. This is the most basic thing at this time, and this is what FIBA is now demanding.
We try to set the required criteria so that they understand the difference between the mentalities of a Russian person and a European. After all, it is important not only to know the rules of refereeing, you need to correctly apply them. FIBA itself is constantly engaged in the training program for young referees, but we need to adapt their recommendations to our country in accordance with the requirements of European and international competitions.”
The best young judges from all regions of the country travel to Prifib clinics - seminars throughout the year. Now the Department of Professional Refereeing has developed a mentoring program, according to which 10 young referees from the TOP-50 best referees in Russia by rating are assigned mentors from among five current FIBA referees.
Each year, the educational and methodological commission prepares two manuals for various types of training of judges: psychological, physical, psycho-physiological; on communication and interaction; methodological recommendations and practical advice. 6 such manuals have already been issued. We get positive feedback from them. it is useful and we will move in that direction.
Another important task that faces us as teachers who should train referees is to develop and shape simple human qualities so that the referee, in addition to fixing fouls and violations, can understand basketball, the profession and the complexity of the work of the coach and players. In a word - be human! This is very relevant at the present time. "

Plus, in June, at the invitation of the Basketball Federation of Kazakhstan, for the third time a large camp is planned in Astana to work mainly with young referees. There will be 4 days of workshop and 3 days of work on the site with feedback and video analysis of each judge.

Now I am adjusting my training program in order to involve young guys more, so that they not only listen, but do it themselves under our control. This is the most basic thing at this time, and this is what FIBA is now demanding. 
Now the Department of Professional Refereeing has developed a mentoring program, according to which 10 young referees from the TOP-50 best referees in Russia by rating are assigned mentors from among five current FIBA referees.
