Official position on the many and serious complaints expressed about the arbitration in Eurobasket took the FIBA. In it, he assures that evaluations, trainings are carried out and that measures are taken with the aim of improving the referees’ performance. He admitted that two serious mistakes were made in the group stage, attributing only one to human error, while he emphasized that mistreatment of referees is not acceptable.
The FIBA ​​statement reads: “FIBA acknowledges that two serious mistakes were made in the first phase of EuroBasket. The first in the match for the second group between Lithuania and Germany, when the referees and the secretariat did not give the technical penalty shot to the first. FIBA has decided that the three referees and the commissioner will be suspended for the rest of the tournament. The second had to do with the timing of the Turkey-Georgia match. Although the match timer had been stopped by the referees, the device on the back of their uniform was accidentally activated by a player when a referee attempted to separate some players on the court.
A number of additional measures are taken by FIBA ​​to ensure that the referees at Eurobasket perform at the highest level and that their performance improves over the course of the tournament. Among these measures are independent evaluations of referees, as well as pre- and post-match analyses.
FIBA will continue to evaluate the performance of referees by taking appropriate action, but will not tolerate the abuse of its referees before, during or after matches. It calls on all involved to create a safe environment in which referees and players can perform.
The selection of referees for the final phase starting on Saturday has been completed. The 20 of the 44 who will direct races in Berlin have been selected. All of them whistle matches with the best players on a weekly basis in the domestic leagues. In addition, they combine experience from 36 Eurobaskets, 12 World Cups and 12 Olympic Games”.
