Download or read book Expertise and Basketball Officiating written by Chad Michael Sed and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the knowledge, skills, experience, and abilities of amateur (grade school-high school) basketball officials in the State of Ohio. It investigated novice/expert skill and age differences in officiating. Another issue explored was the identification of a core skill used by expert officials. Variables of interest were knowledge, procedural performance, age effects, mediation of age effects, and anticipation (as the identified core skill). Forty high school basketball officials participated in the study 25 were experts and 15 were novices. Experts had 10 or more years officiating high school basketball and novices three or less years officiating high school basketball. Age was defined as older officials being [greater than or equal to] 37 years of age and young officials were [less than or equal to] 36 years. The study required participants to view DVD scenarios of actual varsity state championship basketball games and make the correct basketball call. After viewing DVD scenarios they had to answer questions in relation to the call made. Using different DVD scenarios a participant would view a portion of the game scenario and it would be stopped part way in the action. Then the participant would have to tell the researcher what he/she thought would happen next (anticipation). The DVD scenario would be started again and how well the participant anticipated what happened was determined. Participants answered questions from written basketball vignettes situations, a test of the rules, and a test of the mechanics of basketball.Participants had to recall and physically demonstrate the hand signals used to officiate basketball. Test of fluid (Cultural Fair test of "g") and crystallized abilities (Mill-Hill Vocabulary Test) were administered. Results from the all tests indicated that expert officials recalled significantly more information than novice officials about other plays, specific game situations, and refereeing the defense/offense. Experts were significantly more aware than novices of their own position on the court and their area of responsibility. When the amount of information given to experts decreased, their performance in making correct calls significantly increased. Experts were better able to anticipate players movements than novices. Experts made significantly more predictions about anticipation of players' movements as complexity level increased. Experts recalled and demonstrated more hand signals than novices. Older officials had significantly more correct calls on the DVD scenarios of game situations, recalled and demonstrated more hand signals, and significantly reported watching a court area than young officials. Experience was found to mediate age effects on performance, age was found to predict crystallized abilities above any expertise effects, and anticipation was found to be a core skill for expert basketball officials in this study.
Download or read book You re the Basketball Ref written by Wayne Stewart and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you think you know basketball? Do you think you know it well enough to take the court as an NBA or NCAA referee and accurately make the really tough calls? Well, here’s your chance to prove how much you really know about the history and rules of one of the world’s most popular sports. You Be the Basketball Ref is designed to inform, challenge, and entertain basketball fans. A brief introduction to the history of basketball is followed by an overview of NBA and NCAA matters. Topics range from situations that typically come up in games—traveling and shot clock violations, for example—to rules that are just a bit more unusual or, for the casual fan, more obscure. Then quiz yourself on what call you would make in each scenario! Not merely a quiz book, You Be the Basketball Ref has several purposes beyond merely testing your knowledge of basketball rules. Other goals include informing you (e.g., did you know that through 2012 there are 13 referees enshrined in the Hall of Fame including Earl Strom and Marvin “Mendy” Rudolph?) and entertaining you along the way. Many of the situations in You Be the Basketball Ref come from real games, but some scenarios are made up to illustrate specific points or rules. So don your stripes, grab your whistle, and take your position on the court. After all, you’re the ref!
Download or read book The Whistleblower written by Bob Katz and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2020-11-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a season on the road with college basketball referees, Bob Katz watched the games they officiated, listened in on their candid conversations in locker rooms and hotel lobbies, and explored the intense challenges they regularly confront. Alone among thousands in the stadium and millions watching at home, the ref does not care who wins or loses. His only goal is fairness and neutrality. His passion to ensure the playing field stays level is shaped by character, training, and a rare—and rarely appreciated—kind of honor. In this vivid portrait of one consummate professional at the top of his game, Katz pulls off an unbelievable feat in The Whistleblower—readers actually come to root for the ref. In a new afterword Katz reflects on the misunderstood and often denigrated role of the referee in sports and the looming implications for our increasingly partisan society.
