C.J. I didn't quote you the numbers of NEW (L0 & L1) referees, because I do not remember them. I am part of the L3 course, so know how many are registered. In informal discussions with Neil, he indicated a number of somehwere close to 100 NEW referees. The numbers of people registered in the courses is quite large at ALL levels.

Isaac: The abuse of referees has been, and unfortunately probably will always be, a problem. As Nathan indicated, getting referees educacted to a higher level provides them with more "mental armour", or toughness, to cope with those situations.

My last point about referees: the pay sucks, and we all know it. If a referee is starting to get worried about the abuse, and then looks at the meager monetary return, there is a reasonable chance that BASA will lose that referee. I am aware that Neil is proposing changes in this area as well. Unfotunately, any changes have to be apporved by a cash-strapped BASA.

Regarding the current lack of referees: Neil Poulton has done an amazing job of getting Basketball Australia acreditted referee courses for Level 0, 1, 2 & 3 all up and running, as of NOW. The numbers of people that are currently attending these courses is quite staggeringly large.

There are something like 16 people registered in the L3 course - clearly not all of them will get the final accreditation, but it demonstrates a level of interest and commitment that has been lacking in previous years.

Given that not a single person in SA has completed a L3 course over the last 2 years (correct me if I am mistaken), this is a very positive sign.

This is the long term solution to the short term problem. Once these newly accredited referees (at all levels) become available, the shortage should disappear.
