Mastering Officiating: Key Insights on Screen Plays
This training video emphasizes the importance of maintaining a proper focus during officiating, particularly in scenarios involving screens. Referees are reminded to avoid ball watching, as it can lead to missed calls, especially when the play develops across the court. The video outlines the fundamental principle that referees must prioritize their Primary Area of Coverage before attending to secondary responsibilities. Additionally, it highlights the significance of anticipating plays, such as screens when players run baseline, ensuring that officials remain prepared and alert to the dynamics of the game.
Play BreakDown
This is a great pick up by the Trail on obvious screen. Another example to NOT ball watch. If the trail is ball watching across the court this is going to be a No Call Incorrect. Again, your Primary Area of Coverage is rule #1 for our basic core fundamentals. We must own our Primary before worrying about our secondary coverage. The Lead has NO competitive matchup and should see this play from start to finish. Another teaching point is that when players run baseline there is usually a screen coming to free him up. This is a set play! Do your work early and donβt get surprised.
