Trainer’s Corner
September 29, 2008
There seems to be some confusion on how Referees
should stand during the pre-game coaches and captains meeting. As stated
on page 53 in the Case Book and Manual (2008-09), “The pre-match
conference is conducted by the first referee, by the second referee, standing together facing
the court.” Schedule the pre-match conference and duties
so the match will start on time. Suggested time for the pre-match
conference is 25 to 20 minutes before scheduled match time. Please feel
free to share this information with your partners in the event they have not
read this or is not sure.
Also, the following technique shall be used for the
coin toss (refer to page 54 in the Case Book and Manual).
·
Determine who is calling the toss from the visiting team.
·
Engage an opposing team member to echo what is called.
·
Show the coin to both teams’ members (include coaches) explaining which
side of the coin is heads and which is tails.
·
Instruct the caller to make the call while the coin is in the air, and
tell them if it is dropped it will be flipped again.
·
Flip the coin in the air, catch it in an open palm facing up, and
immediately cover the coin with the other hand (like sandwiching) the coin.
Do not catch the coin and flip it over to the back of your other
hand.
·
Ask the teams what was called then show the coin to both teams and
announce the result of the call.
·
The winner of the toss gets choice of Serve or Receive and the serving
team uses the first 5 minutes of the 5-5-2 warm up.
To ensure consistency, everyone within our ranks
shall use the above procedures.
Thanks,
Willie
