October online meeting for 22/23 season was held on 10/20/22 and the topic was positioning and court mechanics. As always, the moderator of the meeting was Joshua Schroeder, Officials Institute Chairman of the Board. Positioning is important when officiating basketball because where you stand on the court can be the difference in what you see and how well you see it. This meeting is set up to watch and discuss videos on games with the primary purpose of looking at and elaborating on the positioning of the officials and where they are currently positioned and if they can move to create a better look at the play.
Live meetings are a crucial part of learning and growing as an official because officials are able to ask questions and receive instant feedback in regard to specific plays. More importantly, however, the Officials Institute strongly believes that watching video together not only builds confidence in each individual but also builds a community of like minded officials that support each other in the constant state of learning. All videos shown in this meeting are NFHS high school basketball games.
The video of this online meeting includes 7 different video clips all discussing positioning AND 1 BONUS CLIP.
0:00 - Intro
1:13 - Ball being passed around for a while and then a shot goes up. Let's look at the officials and where they are positioned.
6:12 - Foul is called by the Trail on a play right in front of the Lead. What was the Trails position?
19:28 - 2 Person game with a shot and rebounding action with the Lead calling a foul. When should we close down? Let's talk about it.
24:55 - Drive to the basket with a foul called in the lane. But should the Trail have positioned himself closer to the action?
37:42 - Throw-in to start this play. We must be standing in the right positions right from the start.
48:33 - 2 Person game and there is a scrum on the endline after a rebound and a fast break the other way. Who called the foul and was the positioning optimized for the action?
54:14 - Three point shot with rebounding action after. Lead moves into better position to see the action.
57:31 - BONUS CLIP
1:05:57 - Next Meeting - 22/23 NFHS POE's
Watching video clips is a good way to stay connected to the skill of officiating basketball but education and learning can more effectively be attained doing it in a group with some direction from a key speaker. Remembering specific rules and application of those rules is easier when visual aids are used to present in a way that is easy to listen to and understand.
The Officials Institute, and their monthly video review meetings, create a fun environment that allows participants to speak up and voice their opinions on plays without negative retribution or rebuttals. Everyone's opinion is worth something and adds to the overall learning experience that everyone should strive for, regardless of years of experience. Breaking down film in slow motion and freeze frames helps to "retrain our brain" so when we see the same plays in real time we are in a better position mentally to get the call right.
