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 Performance Without Compromise written by Raymond Mcclure and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-06-20 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Accuracy is not debatable." This book is a "call for commitment" by Officials to a proper performance while making consistent, accurate rulings. My motivation for this book comes from the fact that I have an absolute genuine concern about THE GAME, and I have for a long time. My concern comes from my belief that officiating basketball is not as difficult as so many among us make it out to be. "Much of what I was taught" during the first half of my career had no rules support, was vague, came with poor advice, and were even philosophical. Those clinicians and trainers who trained me were terrific individuals with a noble effort to teach me the "right way." However, there sure seemed to be many "right ways." Their training was also filled with too much about the "tricks of the trade" and not enough about "the trade." I was never instructed to trust the rules. Over the last four decades, we have become conditioned to accept less and less in the name of style, philosophy, and appearance. We must get all Officials committed to enforcing the rules, and they can't do that if they don't know them. This book is "long overdue" because it is my attempt to let the basketball "world" hear the words of Peter Webb, my mentor and the most knowledgeable person on the planet on the topic of basketball officiating. We know you'll enjoy and benefit from reading this "officiating textbook."

Download or read book A Study of Present Basketball Officiating Qualification Practices of Class A High Schools in Utah written by Paul A. Salvo and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of this study were to obtain data on five aspects of officials qualification practices presently used in Utah and to make some justifiable conclusion. 1. Qualification Data requested. a. Physical Qualification b. Mental Qualification c. Previous Experience as an Official and Player d. Other Related Athletic Experience e. Basketball Officiating and some existing Problems The survey compiled was sent to all head coaches of class "A" high schools, in Utah, which included 40 coaches in all, and to 60 class "A" high school officials of Regions 1, 2, and 4. The officials were chosen at random from the Utah High School Activities Association certified officiating bulletin issued yearly. From the Analysis of the Data the following conclusions were made: (a) Coaches and officials need to recognize what qualifications are presently used and what has to be done to improve these practices. (b) Physical qualifications as a requirement are only an assumption, not a must. (c) The knowledge that one must receive to make him mentally alert appears to be strong in some areas of the state, while in others it only involves reading the rule book and passing the written test. (d) All the athletic experience that one obtains prior to becoming an official does have the sanction of all officials and coaches, for without it a person who wants to become an official can only hope for limited work, or assignments. (e) Any athletic sports activity that a person is associated with has many carryover advantages in the overall performance of an official. (f) Officiating problems as expressed by the data received are extensive. A few examples of the problems are listed below: 1. Crowd reaction 2. Coach reaction 3. Judgment and consistency, etc.
