OFFICIALS AND COACHES COMMUNICATION COMMITTEE
Recommendations to
Bring About Improved Relations Between
Basketball Officials and Coaches
May 15, 2003 Updated

Barriers exist
between coaches and officials. They have sprung up over the years
as coaches have continued to chastise officials and officials have
tried to “circle the wagons” in defense. In order to improve
the game of basketball, these barriers must come down. The
following position paper is a result of coaches and officials
coming together to “break down the barriers”. The committee is
called the Basketball Officials and Coaches Communication
Committee (BOCCC). Most of the following recommendations are
concerned with communication. As our committee name implies,
coaches and officials must open lines of communication before
improvement can take place. It is the committee’s hope that the
following recommendations, rationales and implementations of each
proposal by the various groups, will lead to our objective of
improving the relationship between officials and coaches.
