We at "60 Seconds on Officiating" hope this message finds you rested and ready for another rewarding basketball season.
Just as the game has become a nearly year-round endeavor for players and coaches, so too is it for officials who spend the spring and summer months working on their craft and putting their skills on display at camps and tryouts in an effort to move up another rung on the competitive officiating ladder.
We at "REF 60" traveled that same image of difference path this past summer and published, BEYOND THE RULES, a book that has received high marks from all levels and segments of the basketball community.
