BRIDGEPORT, Pa. — What separates a legitimate foul from simulation—and what are referees looking for when they make the call?
In the premiere of Referee Reference, Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Hall of Fame coach/Coordinator of Referee Education Ed Reed welcomes National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) National Coordinator of Officials/former collegiate official Steve Redding for a conversation about officiating, evaluating referees and the emphasis on simulation.
The pair discuss how officials approach situations, review game footage and explore what players and coaches should understand about how their actions are judged in the pool.
Redding also shares insight into evaluating officials and selecting referees for the NCAA Championships.
Whether you’re a player, coach, official, or fan, Referee Reference helps you better understand the calls that shape the game.
