Podcasts about referees

The World Cup is currently underway in North America, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to talk about football, or soccer depending on where you are from. And specifically, we are going to explore the history of the world's most popular sport. Most people probably think football has always looked more or less the same. Two teams with eleven players. Referees and clear rules. Ninety-minute matches. But that is not true at all. If you travelled back a few hundred years and watched a football match in England, you might not even recognise it as football. In this episode, we are going to explore the development of football. I want to talk about medieval folk football, the British schools that helped create modern rules, and cities like Sheffield that played their own versions of the game. We'll also look at why football and rugby developed separately, where the word “soccer” actually comes from, and how industrialisation transformed football into a global professional sport watched by billions of people. By the end of this episode, I think you'll see football very differently. And you will also have learned lots of new English vocabulary!

Jason declares the Indiana Fever organization has undermined its franchise superstar, Caitlin Clark. After the 2024 season, Indiana changed its front office and coaching staff. From that point until today, the changes seemed to personify the old adage “fitting a square peg in a round hole.” Saturday night, Fever Coach Stephanie White and Caitlin Clark having an explosive exchange during a time-out on the bench set social media on fire. Also, Jason contends that we as Americans should be cheering the New York Knicks and Jalen Brunson over Victor Wembanyama. Steve Kim, Jay Skapinac, and Dre Baldwin join Jason to discuss the NBA Finals, Chet Holmgren disappearing, the ongoing Jaxson Dart/Abdul Carter political kerfuffle, and Shedeur Sanders banking stacks for endorsement deals. ​​Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile Patriot Mobile isn't just a wireless provider.

Andrew Rowland, previously chair of Rugby Southland Referees joins me to talk about two initiatives they are running in the furthest south peninsula of New Zealand.Firstly their Referees of the Future Scholarship initiative - a new way of attracting young (and not so young....) people into refereeing. We look at what's behind it, what's the 'offer' and how it's going so far. There's some more info here on their 2026 scholarship awardees.And then Andrew and I talked about their Chaplaincy offer for their match officials in the province. We talk about what it is, what it's not, and how it's helped him and his fellow referees. If the word chaplaincy sends you down a certain thought route (as it did for me), then worth listening to what it actually is.For more about refereeing in Southland, head here.If you have any comments about this episode, or suggestions for future shows, then drop me a line at ref@rugbyreferee.net!You can follow us here:Twitter: RugbyRefereenetInstagram: RugbyRefereenetFacebook: Page: RugbyReferee.netFacebook Group: RugbyReferee.net CommunityOr you can connect with Keith personally on Twitter or LinkedIn

Hour 1 of Scotty G. & The Coach with Scott Garrard and Tim LaComb. Starting Lineup NBA Draft Lottery What You May Have Missed

Football, tax tribunals and residency rules all come under the spotlight in this week’s episode of The Tax Factor, as Paul Noble and Robert Salter discuss some of the latest stories making headlines across the tax world. The episode begins with the high-profile PGMOL case against HMRC, exploring why part-time football referees were ultimately found to be self-employed and what the decision could mean for wider employment status disputes. Paul and Robert discuss the importance of looking beyond simple “tick-box” tests and why the case reinforces the need to consider the full picture. They also examine a significant residency case involving transit days and exceptional circumstances, before turning to the growing differences between Scottish and UK income tax rates and the practical implications for workers on either side of the border.

What really happens behind the scenes for basketball referees? In this episode of The Gametime Guru Podcast, I sit down with Paul Diasparra, the founder of Crown Refs, to talk about the side of basketball that coaches, players, parents, and fans often misunderstand: officiating. I'll be honest, those who know me know referees and I have not always seen eye-to-eye. As a former player and now as a coach, I've had my share of frustrations with officials. But that's exactly why this conversation was so valuable. Paul gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what basketball officials go through before, during, and after games. We talk about how referees prepare, how they study film, how they communicate with coaches, how they handle missed calls, and why the "next play mentality" matters just as much for officials as it does for athletes. We also get into one of the biggest issues in youth and high school sports today: the shortage of referees. Paul explains why so many officials are leaving the game, how parents and coaches can be better, and why respect, sportsmanship, and emotional intelligence matter if we want to improve the game as a whole. Paul has built Crown Refs into a powerful training platform and community for officials who want to perfect their craft. From film breakdowns and mentorship to camps and communication training, Crown Refs is helping officials grow and stay connected to the game. In this episode, we discuss: How Paul got started in basketball and officiating The origin story behind Crown Refs Why there is a shortage of youth and high school referees How coaches should communicate with officials Why respectful questions get better answers How referees study film and break down plays What officials look for with positioning, whistle timing, and signals How referees handle missed calls and move on The physical demands of officiating basketball Why health, fitness, and nutrition matter for referees How officials work together as a crew Advice for young referees who want to stay involved in the game Where Crown Refs is headed in the future Whether you are a coach, player, parent, referee, or sports fan, this conversation will help you see the game from a different lens.
