On 29-30 August, the Belarusian Basketball Federation and FIBA Europe with the support of the Belarusian State University of Physical Culture hosted the seminar for referees and commissioners.

The participants reviewed and studied such relevant topics as the 3PO mechanics, the main interaction of players and evaluation of their actions, changes in the official FIBA rules, individual officiating technique, and many others.

The speakers at the seminar were the Chairman of the RKS and FIBA referee Piotr Ivashkov, National instructor and FIBA Commissioner Henrykh Bekish, the head coach of the Women's National 3x3 Team of the Republic of Belarus and FIBA Commissioner Yury Vouk, FIBA Commissioner Dmitry Lvovich.

In addition, three FIBA instructors Mr. Johnny Jacobs from Belgia, Mr. Miodrag Licina from Serbia and Mr. Fernando Garzon from Spain conducted lectures via video conference

RKS Chairman Piotr Ivashkov: “The seminar turned out to be very productive. In addition to the fact that its participants were able to learn and recall a lot of useful material, as well as to pass theoretical and fitness tests. It was a good opportunity for our professional communication, especially as we haven’t had it in the past few months. We summed up the last season and set the plans for the upcoming season. It should be noted that the Head of FIBA Referee Department Europe Davorin Nakic showed the interest and attention to our event. The Croation specialist greeted the Belarusian arbitrators via video conference and noted the presence of a large number of new young faces in our team. Davorin also expressed his hope that he would have an opportunity to visit Minsk personally and take part in the BBF referee seminar in the nearest future.  It is important to emphasize that the whole event program was developed and made in close cooperation with the Referee Department of the International Basketball Federation.  The fact that during these two days three FIBA Instructors gave lectures for our referees only confirms that”.
