Officiating: Free FIBA webinars set for next week

The series of preseason education and training continues next week with the hosting of two free FIBA webinars.

Delivered by two of FIBA Europe’s top instructors, Georgios Tanatzis and Manuel Mazzoni will join referees online to host two educational sessions on block/charge and off-ball coverage.

These two important topics will support referees with their play calling in upcoming games across the new season, with the sessions taking place at 6:30pm and 8pm on Monday, 30 September.

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

"After a full schedule of Regional Officiating Conferences taking place throughout the country and completion of the National Officiating Conference in Manchester, we have had great success with sharing good practice and points of emphasis to officials about the new rules, communication techniques, what good practice looks like for statisticians and table officials and much more.

"These free webinars will build on that, and we're delighted to be working with FIBA to upskill all our officials on these important topics."
