FIBA continues its commitment to facilitate and supervise the development of all FIBA family members. Together with Referees, Referees Instructors and Commissioners, Table Officials are an important part of the Officiating Team family. The role of Table Officials is worldwide crucial in ensuring the smooth running of basketball games.
Modern basketball is constantly evolving in all aspects, in and around the game. Naturally, all the participants must constantly improve their skills and knowledge in order to meet basketball’s ever-changing requirements. Same as previously, this Manual is intended to serve FIBA Competitions and National level Competitions alike.
