2015 CABO Camp Halifax Tough Situations Sterilize the game if they won’t work with you Non Basketball fouls/ Borderline hard fouls: Protect the fouler! Watch for team mates coming to assistance of fouled player. Ask yourself: “Do I want this type of foul to happen 10 times in this game?” If not, do something about it!! Partners help. Calling official, take time to listen, tend to feel rushed at this point Can never fake getting hit in the eye. Call foul or stop play for injured player, no change in possession.

2015 CABO Camp Halifax Tough Situations Complicated Foul Process COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE Players to benches first. Get together to decide on final outcome. Agree before the team meeting is over (same rules as BOD). CC brings both coaches together for an “information” session, not a negotiation. Confirm their professionalism prior to communicating. There will be no negotiation, “the crew has information for you.”

2015 CABO Camp Halifax Proactive Reffing Parables! By Aesop The Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger. Suddenly they saw a traveller coming down the road, and the Sun said: "I see a way to decide our dispute. Whichever of us can cause that traveller to take off his cloak shall be regarded as the stronger. You begin." So the Sun retired behind a cloud, and the Wind began to blow as hard as it could upon the traveller. But the harder he blew the more closely did the traveller wrap his cloak round him, till at last the Wind had to give up in despair. Then the Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the traveller, who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on.

2015 CABO Camp Halifax Proactive Reffing Ignorance is Bliss, Not Handle it. Referee across has best view on tough calls. Watch coaches eyes on FT’s as well! Coach, players standing…dissension. Frankenstein.
