LAZY REFEREE ROSTERING

Due to Availability, the Referee roster contains vacant gaps to the day. Further changes are made to the hour for the same reason. Availabilty reasons vary; mine are always linked to work commitments (which may be anywhere in Australia at short notice). Neil and Neal through to an UIC and a ref have to bear the brunt of this. They has my full qualified support and with Paul Arnold have my sympathy for filling positions that highly stressful with comparatively small rewards.
I have seen some referees from national panel through to green shirts fill in for extra games that they would rather not do. Long and short term fatigue affects an officials performance just as much as abuse.
The real solution is an increase referee numbers: there aren't enough, there never have been in any sport and I doubt there never will be. The reason again is simple. A large percentage of humans cant cope with pressure. Be assured, Neil, Neal and Paul can. Those that can do; Those that can't, please yourselves.

bridgeman rosters referees for around 75 games a week, plus looks after the social program at wayville, supervises the referees for miniball, as well as helping poulton wherever he can.....
Do nothing???? don't think so!
Refs need to put in availability forms, coz the UIC's are STILL having to plug holes, and its THOSE refs who won't put forms in!
BTW, BASA don't exist any more, Basketball SA is a completely different body, and poulton is paid by Basketbal Adelaide to do the rostering, on top of the rest of his work. Any wonder he is getting frazzled? Remember what happened to Rod Ridley? PUT FORMS IN ON TIME, and he might just get things done
