Role of a Coach (Basketball Australia)

Basketball coaches are often entrusted with a variety of roles, responsibilities and challenges. It is vital that the coach clearly defines their role and the roles of the staff and volunteers working for them, be they assistant coaches, team managers or medical support. In most Australian junior basketball communities the coach fills all of these roles.

In addition to players, typically, junior coaches have the responsibility of managing relationships with a variety of other stakeholders including parents, officials, sponsors and other community members. Therefore, it is important to conduct one’s self professionally. It is also important to be self-aware of positive coaching development by watching, listening and asking questions of other coaches and role models. Coaches are also encouraged to consider self-assessment and peer-assessment (players and parents) evaluation to stimulate and fast track learning and development.

A pre-requisite for coaches is the ability to communicate clearly, positively and with intelligence. Outstanding communication creates an array of benefits for all stakeholders and often binds teams together and creates strong culture, irrespective of the often differing personalities within a team. With great communication also comes the ability to listen attentively and respond accordingly. Australian basketball coaches are encouraged to position themselves as approachable to all participants and should encourage two way dialogue with all stakeholders.

Planning and Organisation: An essential task for any coach is to organise and coordinate their team. Practice times and venue arrangements are often most critical. Coaches who take the time to plan and organise are more likely to achieve their goals and objectives.

Motivator: All coaches need to be motivators. This will instil a positive, resolute approach to challenges in their players. Leader: It is important for all coaches to display positive leadership. It is the coach that players will look to in moments of crisis. As leaders, coaches set the agenda, determine priorities and provide a direction. Teacher: A coach must be able to share information and ideas. Players are very similar to students in that they are always seeking new information to continually improve their game. Trainer: In addition to in-game advice, coaches are also responsible for the preparation of their players through training. Training includes both skill and fitness development along with strategy training.

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN 2015 - 2018

Role of a Referee (Basketball Australia)

The role of the basketball referee is to ensure the game is played in a safe and fair environment.

The referee has to enforce the rules of the game by making decisions when a violation or foul has occurred and the referee must stop the game and issue the correct penalty.

The role of the basketball referee is to ensure the game is played in a safe and fair environment.

The referee enforces the rules of the game by acknowledging game play violations or fouls. The referee stops the game and issues the correct penalty.

In the Australian junior basketball community referees and umpires are encouraged to be at the game venue at least half an hour before the game is scheduled to start. In addition to rule enforcing, the referee is required to:

· Ensure the playing court and equipment is safe.

· Communicate with the score table and statisticians as required.

· Manage the emotions of the players and coaches.

All though not encouraged, at the junior level, there will be occasions during game play where the referee will administer the team’s substitutions and timeouts and then effectively re-commence the game.

Important to the values of basketball, the referee is charged with the responsibility of ensuring unsportsmanlike and unacceptable behaviour is removed from the game. In the instance by which this occurs the referee will penalise the guilty player, coach or team.

At the conclusion of all games, the referee is required to check the scoresheet and sign accordingly. The referee is allowed to correct any mistakes on the scoresheet but only before he or she signs it.
