Referee Education
Sunday 23rd July 1.30pm / DV Function Room
Dealing with Conflict / Bill Mildenhall
We at the DVBA are always looking for opportunities to help educate and teach our referees in different aspects of the game. The aspect we are discussing during this session will be ‘Dealing with Conflict’.
Referees have a big responsibility in officiating the game but also making sure that they are looking out for each player’s health and wellbeing, to add to this workload they might have to deal with conflict in the same basketball game. As our referees differ between age experience, this opportunity will help our referees have the same method of how to deal with conflict.
Bill Mildenhall from Basketball Victoria has gladly offered his time to come down to run the session and we could not be happier. Bill’s resume is exceptional, he had officiated in the NBL since 1979 up to 2011 and is the most decorated referee in NBL history. Bill won an amazing 16 consecutive NBL Referee of the Year awards from 1988 to 2003 – a record for both the number of awards won and consecutive wins. This alone shows Bill’s ability to deal with conflict would be at the highest level, officiating the highest level in Australia for several years.
