Below is this week's segment - Use of the Monitor - Listen
The use of instant replay is a conversation and debate that’s taking place in all levels of sport, all across the board. One thing I’ve noticed when fans are talking about college basketball is the frustration over seeing more and more times in the college game the officials going to the monitor to check a situation late in a game.
At the high school level, the monitor can only be used at the Semifinal and Final levels of the girls and boys tournament. The monitor then can only be used at the end of a fourth quarter or overtime to determine if a shot was released in time, and if that shot was a two-point basket or a three-point basket with a potential shooter’s foot being on the line.

Be the Referee: Summer Camp
June 9, 2016
This week, MHSAA assistant director Mark Uyl talks about a couple of opportunities officials utilize to work on their games each summer.
Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment - Summer Camps - Listen
Student-athletes aren’t the only ones heading off to camp this summer to improve their game. MHSAA officials also hit camps during the summer to improve and get additional training in each of their sports.
The two largest camp experiences that the MHSAA sponsors are in football and basketball. The MHSAA Football Officials Camp is held in conjunction with the Michigan High School Football All-Star Game taking place at Saginaw Valley State University. In basketball, officials get trained at the Reaching Higher Camps, which are held in the Milford area this summer. Two great ways for officials to keep getting better.
