𝗞𝗲𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗼𝗻 𝗝𝗿.’𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗡𝗖𝗔𝗔 𝘁𝗼 𝗡𝗕𝗟 Ken Widgeon Jr.’s love for basketball was instilled at a young age. He inherited his passion from his father, who not only played but also refereed the game. This connection to the sport would later guide Widgeon Jr. down a similar path in the officiating world. As a college basketball player at Mount Saint Vincent in New York, he saw an opportunity to stay connected to the game from a different angle by becoming a referee during the intramural season. His decision to take up the whistle was influenced by his dad’s decade-long experience in officiating. One day he decided he was going to officiate so he took the train, stole a shirt and whistle from his dad, and headed back to campus to start officiating. He remembers making $25-$30/game, which at the time felt like millions according to him. Widgeon Jr. quickly discovered that officiating offered a unique pressure and responsibility similar to that of playing. The management aspect of the game, ensuring fairness and safety, resonated with him and became a driving force in his new role. 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 His journey began with his certification from (NFHS), or high school basketball, a crucial first step that jump started this path. Once he was certified and had passed his test, he immersed himself in the game, working every game he got a chance to work. His relentless pursuit of experience led him to work in Men’s League games and other amateur competitions, where he quickly learned to navigate the intricacies of the game from the center of the action. He mentions having to be able to survive and figure out how to manage the game at these levels which attributed to helping him as he grew as an official. The practical experience gained from these early games was invaluable, but Widgeon wanted to learn more. Free referee camps run by the late Lee Hendrix provided an environment ripe for learning and growth. Here, he absorbed the fundamentals of officiating, from understanding the flow of the game to mastering the positioning required to make accurate calls. These camps were not just about learning the rules but about embedding the principles of the game into his normal motions in officiating. 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 As Widgeon Jr.’s skills as a referee grew, so did his network within the basketball community. He met and was mentored by seasoned professionals like Ronnie Nunn, Mike Schmidt, and Jon Levinson, who recognized his potential and dedication. These mentors provided not only advice and guidance but also opened doors to higher levels of competition, including collegiate and professional basketball. Ken’s rise through the ranks of officiating was a testament to his ability to learn and adapt. He absorbed the wisdom of his mentors, understanding that officiating at the professional level required not just a thorough knowledge of the rules but also the ability to handle the psychological and emotional aspect of the game. 📖 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 https://medium.com/@crownrefs/from-new-jersey-to-a-down-under-dream-3326fb8c68b6 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 𝙗𝙮: 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙬𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙜 𝘼𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙗𝙮: 𝘼𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣 𝙒𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙜 🏀 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 Patreon.com/crownrefs…

In this 13th installment of "Rapid Responses," we focused on the importance of establishing clear pre-game discussions with coaches (if your state allows), managing in-game interactions professionally, and the critical role of effective communication in defusing potential conflicts. The session highlighted how referees should approach conversations with coaches, emphasizing the need for mutual respect and professional dialogue. The idea of using questions to guide these interactions and the strategy of admitting mistakes when necessary were also discussed. The conversation then shifted to broader issues like the role of athletic associations and schools in promoting good sportsmanship and effective communication. There was a suggestion to involve state-level basketball coaches' associations more actively in this effort. This led to discussions about the impact of pre-game announcements on sportsmanship, the potential benefits of having student athletes deliver these messages, and the need for athletic directors to take a proactive approach in addressing spectator behavior. We also explored how new technologies like video boards could be used to enhance the delivery of sportsmanship messages in schools. The podcast stressed the importance of not just relying on athletic directors to manage games but also on referees taking an active role in ensuring a positive and respectful environment during basketball games. ❤️𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 Patreon.com/crownrefs 🎶 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝗸 𝗧𝗼𝗸 https://www.tiktok.com/@crownrefs?_t=8cv8RyeL7ve&_r=1 📷 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗚 https://instagram.com/crownrefs?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA== 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 https://sideline.bsnsports.com/schools/new_york/hartsdale/crown-refs…

The episode highlights the importance of patience and kindness, even when confronted with challenging situations or negative feedback. We hope you notice our friendly banter and focus on setting a positive and humorous tone. As we glide into the comments we address some negative feedback from our TikTok & Instagram audience, ranging from constructive critiques to outright trolling. We navigate these with humor and wisdom, emphasizing the need for officials to remain composed and effective in their roles. The episode also touches on the modern challenges of officiating in a world where respect for referees seems to be dwindling.

The core message focuses on the mental fortitude required off the court, advocating for consistent expressions of gratitude, deep-seated humility, and the cultivation of a positive daily outlook as foundational elements for mental strength. This installment emphasizes the need to solidify one's emotional and mental base—rebuilding the "foundations" before attempting to fix the superficial aspects, metaphorically referred to as the "kitchen sink." The guidance provided seeks to bolster the official's resilience and performance, ensuring they are well-equipped to handle the inherent stresses of their role with poise and confidence. The episode serves as a valuable resource, not just for the official in question but for all referees aiming to enhance their mental game and serve the sport with excellence. ❤️𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 Patreon.com/crownrefs 📷 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗚 https://instagram.com/crownrefs?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA== 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 https://sideline.bsnsports.com/schools/new_york/hartsdale/crown-refs…
Welcome back to the 5th installment of "Coaching in Qatar" series, as this episode zeroes in on the art of communication for basketball officials, presenting the 'Rapid Responses' system to enhance dialogue with coaches. A significant takeaway is the differentiation between responding to genuine inquiries about plays and deflecting mere questioning of an official's judgment. The episode advocates for officials to approach player interactions as an opportunity to educate and clarify rather than just enforce, promoting an environment where players view referees as approachable and informative. The importance of proactive officiating is highlighted, guiding players with verbal cues to preempt potential infractions and maintain the flow of the game. The discussion also delves into the nuances of managing coaches, emphasizing the necessity of establishing a professional yet assertive presence. Officials are encouraged to use discretion in conversations, opting for factual, rule-based dialogue over emotional exchanges. Techniques such as employing the 'three voices' strategy—authority, normal, and diffusing—are recommended for different in-game scenarios, allowing officials to assert control, offer clarity, and deescalate tensions effectively. Ultimately, the episode reinforces the concept that referees must navigate the game with confidence and impartiality, always serving the game with the utmost respect for its integrity. ❤️𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 Patreon.com/crownrefs 📷 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗚 https://instagram.com/crownrefs?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA== 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 https://sideline.bsnsports.com/schools/new_york/hartsdale/crown-refs…
Welcome back to the 4th installment of "Coaching in Qatar," as this episode delivers essential strategies for effective communication between basketball officials and players, as well as insightful methods for managing interactions with coaches. The key takeaways emphasize the importance of being approachable to players, guiding them on rules they may not fully understand, and using proactive officiating to prevent 'game interrupters' – those unnecessary stoppages that disrupt the flow of the game. Officials are encouraged to use their voice strategically to deescalate tensions, employing techniques such as repeating calming words and offering explanations that players can understand. The episode also tackles the often challenging communication with coaches, advocating for a firm yet respectful dialogue. It introduces the concept of 'Rapid Responses,' a Crown Refs training series designed to equip officials with the tools to handle even the most difficult coaching personalities confidently. Key advice includes establishing a professional relationship, avoiding judgment based on past interactions, and recognizing the difference between a coach genuinely seeking to understand a call and one merely questioning the official’s judgment. Officials are advised to maintain strong eye contact, use the three voices (authority, normal, diffusing), and understand when to play 'offense' in conversations, asserting the need to stand firm against unsporting behavior. The episode concludes with the recommendation to avoid over-explaining technical fouls to coaches, emphasizing that grown adults should recognize their misbehavior without the need for extensive justification. Ultimately, Episode 4 of "Coaching in Qatar" empowers officials to serve the game with confidence, clarity, and control. ❤️𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 Patreon.com/crownrefs 📷 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗚 https://instagram.com/crownrefs?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA== 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 https://sideline.bsnsports.com/schools/new_york/hartsdale/crown-refs…

These super traits are foundational for effective teamwork, irrespective of others’ attitudes or behaviors.. "We want to aspire to be a source of excitement on the schedule for their colleagues." Our message is clear: officiating is more than just managing the game; it's about building rapport and trust. Through self-reflection and positive affirmation, officials can improve their in-game performance and decision-making. This episode also guides listeners on how to communicate effectively with their partners, stressing the value of personal connections, accountability, and a collective approach to managing games.
