Whistle Rap

      Just a  reminder on  Refereeing  mechanics,  I know it is nice to have one referee  stay at one end of the court for the whole half,  than switch,  However  the proper mechanics is to switch  sides as often as it is convenient.  When a shooting foul is called as one  referee  gives the numbers of the player  who committed the foul  to the table the other referee  gets the other players  set up, and lets the subs in if they are ready,   that  is also a  great time to switch. During time outs,  or when the ball is passed in from the sideline. This prevents a  team  from learning a  referee's tendencies and  use that to their unfair advantage.
   Again we  sure  appreciate  your service as referee's I think considering the circumstances  our  officiating  is  very good,  and what makes it work, the only way it works, is for the players to  show  respect and appreciation  and understanding  for these volunteers  helping out.   Thanks again.
