Each referee
has a major responsibility to be a friend,
not a severe judge.
He should
show tolerance concerning violations which are of no
consequence and which do not give too much advantage
to the offending player. A greater amount of tolerance
is always needed for beginners.
Mini-basketball
is theoretically a non-contact game, it is important
to call the fouls that have a direct bearing on the
play. Children will make greater progress if they acquire
good fundamentals and understanding of the Rules of
Mini Basketball in the early stages of development.
It is important
to officiate the game speedily, so as not to expend
too much time administering violations, jump balls and
free throws.
