Ask PCA: How Can Refs Work With Others To Stop the Madness?

This week's "Ask PCA" feature incorporates the fine art of officiating and offers you the chance to win a copy of a terrific book. Beneath this week's question, you may scroll down to continue reading for last week's question and PCA's reply. But, for now, consider:

How Can Refs Work With Others to Stop the Madness?

"I referee basketball from youth through D-II colleges and recently appeared on several Twin Cities radio stations after an incident in which a league supervisor suffered a concussion and dislocated jaw when assaulted by a fan who was irate over timekeeping at a 6th-grade house league game. I think highly enough of PCA that I included a section on your organization in my book, BasketCases, and now I want to know your thoughts on how officials, coaches, players and parents can work together to stop this madness. The writers of the five most helpful answers will receive a copy of my book."
