NOCP

The Saskatchewan Basketball Officials Commission (SBOC) is working with our National Governing Body (CBOC) to ensure that officials in our province have access to the standardized certification system (NOCP) that allows officials to maintain accreditation across the country. In addition to the NOCP, we offer opportunities for communities or organizations to host clinics that provide supplemental knowledge to the NOCP.  Examples of these clinics are: Intro to Officiating for Youth Officials, Rules Refresher Clinics, and IOT’s clinics.

If you are interested in finding out more about the NOCP or our supplemental offerings please contact our Director of Education, Dale Reed at dereed@sasktel.net

If you are a current Level 1 or Higher official interested in setting up an evaluation in order to move through the levels within the NOCP, please contact our Director of Advancement, Brad Smith.

Application form

Description

The Warren Poncsak Memorial Camp Grant is an annual scholarship provided to a developing official or developing officials, who have officiated at least two seasons with SBOC. The grant is established to support the improvement of their skills, by attending an officials’ development camp. The total amount awarded annually can be up to $500 in total and can be split among up to five qualified recipients. The grant awardees will be announced each year at the AGM/Hoopla.

Background

Warren Poncsak was a long-time referee and evaluator in Saskatchewan and across Canada.

After playing for the University of Regina from 1980-85, Warren took up refereeing basketball where his basketball IQ and understanding of the game allowed him to be assigned to referee university and senior level basketball very early in his career. He refereed for 36 years, 32 of which were at the U Sport level. Warren was assigned to many U Sport Men’s and Women’s National Championships and as well as the U19 Men’s Championship in Kelowna and the 2005 Canada Summer Games in Regina where he was assigned to the Boy’s Gold Medal Game.

Warren served on the SABO executive as President and Provincial Interpreter and has held numerous positions on the Regina Association of Basketball Officials (RABO) executive including President and Referee in Chief.  Warren’s true passion was working with and instructing new and developing referees. Warren was a gifted clinician and camp instructor having worked at clinics and camps from coast to coast and even in the Northwest Territories.

Nationally Warren was a member of the National Evaluation Panel and a certified National Referee Coach. He has been assigned as a Referee Coach to numerous U15 & U17 National Championships as well as CCAA and U Sport Men’s and Women’s Championships.

Warren passed away July 13, 2021, at the age of 59. At the time of his death Warren was an active member of SBOC, CEBL and Canada West Officiating Panels.

The criteria for selection of a recipient will include:

  • Is a member of SBOC.

  • Has the potential/attributes to develop into a NOCP Level 3 or 4 official.

NOTES:

Type of Clinic

  1. New – the clinic will be set up to provide foundational knowledge and skills for new officials wanting to start their basketball officiating career, or for an inexperienced official wanting to refresh their understanding of basketball officiating. This clinic typically covers the rules, their interpretations, and the floor mechanics. It may involve some on-floor officiating in scrimmage games.
  2. Refresher – the clinic will provide newer and experienced officials a refresher on key rules and mechanics and review any new rules and mechanics FIBA has instituted. There will be a classroom session and may include an on-floor review of key mechanics. There may also be a review of possible questions for the exam preparation.

Open/Closed:

  1. Open – refers to a clinic with the allowance of all individuals wanting to begin or continue to officiate basketball within Saskatchewan. Conditions, such as vaccination requirements may be instituted for one’s attendance at a clinic.
  2. Closed – refers to a clinic limiting its attendance to a specific group of attendees. A specific group of attendees are marked for this particular clinic.
