The smell of the new season was in the air over the weekend in Vilnius Lithuania, which hosted the 28th Clinic for Euroleague Basketball Officials, as euroleaguebasketball.net informs.
The weekend in Vilnius saw the referees undergo independent physical examinations to ensure that every official was in peak form before the first whistles are blown for the 2019-20 campaigns.
Topics addressed included fitness and training issues by the medical support staff as well as presentation and court presence led by veteran official Olegs Latisevs.
In addition, the points of emphasis discussed with EuroLeague and EuroCup head coaches earlier in the summer were presented to the referees and referees coaches who will support them this season including faking and flopping, behavior, violations, contact situations and mechanics by Richard Stokes.
There were also sessions related to matters of instant replay and communication conducted by Euroleague Basketball staff members.
