However, if they blame the referees for the loss, they have no motivation to improve their game. If they accept accountability, they accept that the other team was simply a better side which will motivate them to improve. By finding an external force to blame for the loss, the players dodge being held accountable for the loss. Please let me remind you, You are a positive role model for youth.ħ. Everyone’s heard the phrase ‘take what the defense gives you’, right? Well in some ways that rule also applies to referees, ‘take what the referees give you’. For example, some referees allow the players to play tougher in the paint than other referees do. As long as the referees are making calls consistently at both ends of the floor, it’s up to you to adjust your game plan to their style of refereeing. Don’t let the referees affect your ability to support your player and team.Ħ. Your role is to cheer on your player and team. One of the biggest problems I notice in parents without much experience is that they often get caught up dealing with the referees and forget what their role is in the game. Learning how to deal with this is an important skill for all players to learn.ĥ. Just like not everything in life is going to go their way either. Not every call in basketball is going to go their way. One of the most important rules on all of my teams is that players never argue with the referees. Teach them to stay under control and fight through it mentally when things aren’t going their way.Ĥ. If they see you being overly angry at the referees, you can bet they won’t be far behind you. Whether you like it or not, as a basketball fan and coach you are a role model to your players. Your role as a basketball coach and parent extends much further than merely winning games. Sometimes you’re going to see things that the referee misses, and sometimes they’re going to see things that you miss.ģ. While you are both watching the same game, you will always have a different angle on the play from the referee. You Both Have Different Angles On The Play. Stop expecting perfection and start expecting consistency.Ģ. Just because they make an incorrect call doesn’t mean they need to ‘get their eyes checked’ or ‘learn the rule book’. Just like you and I aren’t going to make the correct coaching decision every single time. They’re not going to make the correct call 100% of the time. If you have feedback please have coaches reach out to me, and remember:ġ. The fact is we have a referee shortage in the Treasure Valley. This crew is the same crew of refs that officiates at the middle school and adult league levels. The 6 th-7 th-8 th grade league is officiated by refs wearing stripes. They will referee the K-1 st league, 2 nd-3 rd league, and 4 th-5 th league. The fact is that most of our refs are high school kids learning how to ref. You are a positive role model for youth. Sportsmanship goes a long way. There are a few things that I want all parents and coaches to understand. Particularly how Coaches and Parents respond to referees and the not-so-favorable calls. While it's great watching your player playing, and watching Referee’s ref, the last few years in youth sports have been troubling. See below for practice times and locations for each league.
