Basketball England's Delivery Manager - Officiating Simon Unsworth said:

"This is an excellent opportunity for our officials to learn about key developments within the game from some of the world's top referees.

It's great that through the Jr. NBA and Basketball England partnership we are able to offer these clinics to BE officials, and hopefully there will be a great take up ahead of next week."
