Referee Ratings

I have had the benefit of attending various referee development programs interstate. Talking to non-SA refs, they seemed surprised that we were not made aware of our individual rankings.

Personally I would appreciate the additional feedback that I would receive from being able to view the rankings of SA refs (and yes, rankings do exist).

However, that information MUST be kept confidential within the refereeing community, for all of the reasons listed by other people posting on this topic.

Regarding the registration fee structure: I will be paying the $70 to particiapte in the L3 course. Over the last few years there have been development squads (e.g. the 36'ers squad) for developing refs (in that case for refs intending to progress to L3), but little progress has been made in actually completing course work.

By collecting payment, the onus is on BASA to actually run the course, and get more highly qualified refs.

Just my $0.02.

Trevor who?

If you mean Trevor Baker he only gives away boomerangs and homing pigeons. His integrity on ratings is impeccable

in regards to the above refs I think Geoff, Tsakalos, Wieland, Haines, Filmer, Mcdonald, Clover and Maidment are the most experienced going around.
beames was good in his day. the league needs more quality coming thru to push these guys though and also to help them because I think sometimes there is one of these guys refing with partners of a much lower standerd which makes the game inconcistent.

great - all ref's need to stick together including social refs to build up money for education
time will tell with a new person in charge he will do things his way i am sure regardless of what Rod said or did not say...

on another simlar matter, what other refs are there that can ref Aba other than the ones mentioned. how many level 2 refs who could step up to give more depth in the Aba. I dont think there are enough good refs on the aba list... maybe they need to bring some back from retirment and pay them to do so

any one have any thoughts?

average jo, what do you think about publishing refs results to all refs
???
since you posted......

It is not just for insurance mate. It would go toward the Refs development, they are always saying there is no budget for Refs so I am sure that the $25 you pay would be your way of contributing towards the association and your fellow refs
to me it sounds like a small amount to pay for a whole year

ok interesting topic!! from what i heard national championships are paid for by basketball australia so the $25 per head should not be going toward this, however ref's have always had to pay for the grading courses. The only difference this year is maybe they will actualy start running the courses and Refs can progress quicker??? I think that ref's should be told how well they are doing by there coaches
