Interpreter’s Report 2003
The referees in this province have shown a very positive and
professional image to our clients. I
have received and answered many emails from people that want to be better
informed on the rules and mechanics. Our
website has been continuously updated and follows the guidelines of CABO.
The Fiba Exam was a
more difficult one this year. Our
results prove this. As referees we do
well on the main core of the rules but must become better aquatinted with finer
points of the book. The NCAA test
results were the best so far. We did our
homework. National evaluators commended
our tournament officials in regards to their rule knowledge, mechanics and the
calling of advantage/disadvantage situations.
Your president and I are working hard on your behalf to have our
province switched to one set of rules, these rules being the NCAA. We are meeting some resistance with our
partners. I will be enclosing the major
differences between the two sets of rules.
In the fall, we hope to present an interesting Level 2 clinic. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated in
regards to the agenda.
