Denis Matsulevich and Maxim Trotsky represented our country at the referee’s forum who received their first FIBA licenses.
The seminar was held from January 20 to 23 in Thessaloniki, Greece, it was attended by 58 referees, who received their first licenses from FIBA. The Head of the Refereeing Department of FIBA Europe Davorin Nakic and six FIBA instructors were appointed to read lectures.
At the lectures were discussed “Three person officiating mechanics”, “Simulation”, “Unsportsmanlike foul”, “Shooting process”, “Physical and psychological referee’s training”, “Easy contact. Criteria of decision making”.
In addition to that in the basketball hall were held practical exercises, where the referees worked out the elements of mechanics and individual refereeing technique. On the final day of the seminar, individual interviews with FIBA instructors took place.
Seminar participant and FIBA referee Denis Matsulevich said: “First of all, I would like to thank the European and Belarusian Basketball Federations, the Republican Collegium of Referees and personally the Deputy Chairman of the BBF Andrey Anatolyevich Balabin for the opportunity to take part in a useful and exciting international seminar. The training program was intense and diverse: interesting theoretical material, intensive practical training and the opportunity to work out the elements of mechanics and individual refereeing technique directly on the court under the guidance of the best specialists. Certainly, it is very important to take part in the seminar and to gain valuable experience, which will be put into practice in the games of the national championship and international matches. It was also interesting to exchange experience with colleagues from other countries and to improve my knowledge in organizing and holding events for referees.”
Pretty soon, on February 3-5, 2022, in Minsk on the basis of BSUPC will be held a republican off-season seminar for coaches, commissars and referees.
