We're excited to introduce Film Fam, our new film review series at Crown Refs! Inspired by our Game Notes series, Film Fam will feature at least two officials per session who will share a bulk of plays for review. In this first episode, we feature officials Anthony Johnson Jr. and Carter Mochinski, who both bring a diverse set of game clips for analysis. This collaborative platform is designed to provide and receive valuable feedback, helping all of us refine our skills and grow together as a community.⁣

⁣

During the episode, Anthony focuses on improving his closing down angles during rebounding fouls and working on slowing down and spacing out his signals when reporting to the scorer's table. Carter receives advice on maintaining eye contact with players during dead balls, observing the entire play sequence before making calls, and practicing patience in his decision-making process. We encouraged both officials to present their signals with confidence, avoid unnecessary gestures, and ensure they command respect and control on the court. Let us know if you’d like to be in a future film fam as it’s available to all members on the Crown Refs MENTOR tier & above.⁣
