General Meeting
Meeting called to order at 9:00 AM
Mike Cashman opened the meeting with an icebreaker - a basketball trivia contest
with scenarios that included several Snohomish County Officials (I.E. targets)
Trent Harwood reminded officials to complete their online
test and online clinic
Kevin Erickson talked about professionalism. He complimented the group on the
professionalism and game officiating that we are performing. He mentioned that
he has seen several JV crews who could have just done a double-header and
officiating the varsity game as well. Kevin then mentioned that officials need
to avoid criticizing players, coaches, the general level of play or other
officials. When comments like those are overheard, it reflects poorly on all of
us.
Kevin informed officials that the WOA is only asking us to
enforce the "home white uniforms" rule at the varsity level. When we officiate
at schools that allow students on to the floor during introductions, we need to
"dead ball officiate" the introductions to make sure the opposing team is not
unduly harassed.
Several of our observers gave reports on some trends (both good and "things to
work on") for our officials.
Joann Sather conducted a training session and showed floor
positioning for several game situations.
Paul Patterson presented a game scenario that happened in Seattle
involving a flagrant personal foul followed by players from both teams leaving
the bench and coming on the floor.
* Meeting adjourned at 10:40 AM |
