Suggestions for referee improvements

Everyone says this is a BASA problem, and to some extent it is. However until the Clubs, who are BASA, take responsibility for this part of the game, then we won't have any solution. I know the clubs struggle in other facets of having enough personnel for the game, but how many have a person in their club responsible for developing and fostering the referee/umpires in their club.

Neil has great ideas, but it will take time to get the results. We focus too much on Junior officials who do not have many real life people management/coping skills.

By the way Yogee, is that how they treat conflict/differences of opinion. Put their head in the sand and hope we go away. We might, but the problem certainly doesn't.

here's a novel idea - every friday night and saturday morning for a couple of months BASA could run an umpiring course.

This course would be attended by the u-16 and u-18 (all div's) teams that have the bye round that week. If less than 70% of team shows then they do not receive a championship point that round (i think you get one for a bye?? may be two??).

This could not be argued against by clubs and teams as the course would occur at the same times as games.

although not all these kids would go on to umpire, at least you would give the kids some understanding on the rules of the game, and if short on umpires they could be called upon to don a black and white and help out.
