2025-26 COC1 Men’s Basketball Training Tape #1

This COC1 Men’s Basketball training video for the 2025-26 season provides an in-depth analysis of several critical play types to improve officiating accuracy and eye discipline. The first half of the tape focuses on the evolution of "hold and seal" tactics used by offensive post players to clear paths for guards, emphasizing the need for lead and center officials to remain focused on their primary coverage areas. The video also examines the nuances of defensive verticality, contrasting legal guarding positions with illegal blocking fouls. Additionally, the training covers the importance of "making the call" regarding unsporting behavior and technical fouls, as well as the value of crew communication when correcting calls near the restricted area. The tape concludes with a review of "pushing the screener" and hand-checking violations, reminding officials to maintain a high point of emphasis on these frequent play types to ensure game flow and player safety.
