basketballscotland are delighted to announce the 2008 Cup Finals Referee Appointments. This year twelve out of the 16 referees appointed to the finals are specially accredited under the new licensing system, which includes fitness assessments, rules testing and seminar attendance. Of the non-licensed referees, two are senior officials who missed the seminar due to prior commitments, and the other two are promising young referees who are aspiring to progress up the refereeing pathway. There is a good balance of youth and experience in the 2008 Cup Finals referee appointments, with many young referees being given the chance to show their improvement and develop for the future on the big stage.
Current form of all the Cup Finalists suggests that this year's finals could and should be the closest and most exciting games for a good number of years.
basketballscotland are confident that the official's pairings on each game, signed off by FIBA National Instructor and former International Referee George Valentine, will ensure that the games are well officiated and that high quality officiating makes a contribution to a potentially great weekend of quality Scottish basketball .
