Full Audio, Referee Mic’d Up: San Ysidro at Eastlake, 2/6/16

23-year referee Quentin Norman is mic’d up for this game as you go behind the scenes of what a referee does at a game.
Start with the pre-game meeting with the referee team and captain’s meeting.
Listen as the referee nearly admits that he might have made the wrong call, asks which defender wants credit for the foul and the banter between the coaches and referee.
The game itself was a track meet at times prompting the referee to comment that they won’t have to worry about the shot clock tonight.
The game came down to the last shot.

Respect, knowledge, integity and discretion seem to be part of both guys make up. A treat officiating with an individuals that allow the game to play itself without being whistle happy.

Fantastic team work on behalf of the officials! 👏 I took a away a number of best practices I’ll be implementing throughout my current and future game officiating. 🏀👍

[@jasonphillipsjr7785]

Dang I would love to work a game or two with this guy. Seems like a great partner and would be really fun to ref with

[@tonyc7301]

I like how he immediately identifies the shooter verbally on fouls. Far too often the shooter is not identified by the calling official and that can lead to issues if a team is trying to be sneaky. Overall a very proactive and good official. Mechanics weren't always perfect but he managed that game very nicely.

Goodness haven’t seen this guy in forever. Such a great guy when I worked in San Diego

[@Bey11ktb]

Great video! This is my first year for basketball. Tremendous help!

[@maxpuppy96]

he is better than most NBA guys I see, good official I did it 20 years, old school no lanyard, I use to work with and old timer who use to shoot it out his mouth and catch it one hand it was awesome.

[@ajg1791]

The official is really engaged and did a great job. Enjoyed watching it. Kids were ballin out. Both number fives on each team.

[@chrisdenton5982]

Very good video. About to start my first year officiating rec ball and this video was very helpful. Maybe middle school ball next year.

[@stevemeinecke]

Great job on both sides my IHSA he taught me a lot now I am going in footsteps as high school official

[@sellison2192]

I loved refs like that. They would talk and joke. But also warn you. The games just flowed better and it was fun.

[@zgaviation6481]

Quentin, please come to Orlando. I'd work with you any day!

[@wesleystafford8521]

If all officials at all levels treated it like this guy..........the world would be a better place.

[@NateDieckman]

A 2 man crew with a shot clock is a travesty

[@jakecarlisle6421]

You would be a top panel official in our board

[@stevemeinecke]

Remind me of my grandfather walter radwonski was IL high school official

[@mattpreston4950]

I get the distinct impression Cam could do with a little less input.

[@olliemceachern5963]
