Pro-Am Referee Training & Development Officials: Terry Gilbert, Tony Turner, Jeff Smith
Mission Statement.
Founded and launched in 1996, the Pro-Am Referee Training & Development Program is a grassroots community minded training and development program for aspiring basketball officials.
Its purpose is to provide exceptional instruction to prospective officials who wish to elevate and hone their knowledge of officiating, both in the classroom and on the court, and who aspire to perform at the highest levels of basketball competition. The program identifies new and talented officials and regularly refers them for inclusion in nationwide basketball venues.
The Pro-Am Referee Training & Development Program continues to be instrumental with guiding officials to improve their decision making skills, court awareness and communicative skills. To date, the Pro-Am Referee Training & Development Program has enhanced the performance and overall skills of many officials who now referee in the professional ranks of the NBA, WNBA, NBDL, CBA, ABA, and the USBL. The Pro-Am has equally assisted in the training and continued development of officials who currently officiate in all 3 levels of Men/Women NCAA College Divisions in addition to the Boys/Girls High School ranks.
Headed by its founder Terry Gilbert and assisted by Zach Zarba, the Pro-Am Referee Training & Development Program utilizes a staff of veteran officials from the ranks of professional and college basketball. Our staff understands even the most nuanced fundamentals of the game, and can effectively teach those fundamentals in a highly approachable way.
