Maintaining Control: Bench Decorum in Officiating

This training video focuses on the critical responsibilities of basketball officials in managing bench decorum during and after games. It highlights the necessity for officials to remain vigilant about coaches' reactions, especially after contentious calls like technical fouls. The discussion emphasizes that officials should not ignore poor behavior from the bench, and that they will receive support from the officiating consortium when addressing these issues. Proper management of bench behavior is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the game and ensuring a respectful environment.

Play BreakDown

We shouldn’t trust the coaches especially post game to media and his AD after a technical foul. We have an Obvious blocking call from the Lead position. When walking out to report the foul we must have eyes on the bench to observe their reaction. Allowing POOR Bench Decorum is NOT an option in this Consortium. Don’t pretend you don’t see this poor behavior. YOU will be supported in handling bench decorum.
