Sports officials (umpires, referees, judges) play a vital role in every sport, and sports governing bodies, fans, and players now expect officials to maintain higher professional standards than ever before. In this ground-breaking book, a team of leading international sport scientists and top level officials have come together to examine, for the first time, the science and practice of officiating in sport, helping us to better understand the skills, techniques and physical requirements of successful refereeing. The book covers every key component of the official’s role, including: Training and career development Fitness and physical preparation Visual processing Judgement and decision-making Communication and game management Psychological demands and skills Using technology Performance evaluation Researching and studying officials in sport Top-level officials or officiating managers contribute in the ‘Official’s Call’ sections, reflecting on their experiences in real in-game situations across a wide range of international sports, and on how a better understanding of science and technique can help improve professional practice. No other book has attempted to combine leading edge contemporary sport science with the realities of match officiating in this way, and therefore this book is vital reading for any advanced student of sport science, sport coaching or sport development, or any practising official or sports administrator looking to raise their professional standards.

In Scorecasting, University of Chicago behavioral economist Tobias Moskowitz teams up with veteran Sports Illustrated writer L. Jon Wertheim to overturn some of the most cherished truisms of sports, and reveal the hidden forces that shape how basketball, baseball, football, and hockey games are played, won and lost. Drawing from Moskowitz's original research, as well as studies from fellow economists such as bestselling author Richard Thaler, the authors look at: the influence home-field advantage has on the outcomes of games in all sports and why it exists; the surprising truth about the universally accepted axiom that defense wins championships; the subtle biases that umpires exhibit in calling balls and strikes in key situations; the unintended consequences of referees' tendencies in every sport to "swallow the whistle," and more. Among the insights that Scorecasting reveals: • Why Tiger Woods is prone to the same mistake in high-pressure putting situations that you and I are • Why professional teams routinely overvalue draft picks • The myth of momentum or the "hot hand" in sports, and why so many fans, coaches, and broadcasters fervently subscribe to it • Why NFL coaches rarely go for a first down on fourth-down situations--even when their reluctance to do so reduces their chances of winning. In an engaging narrative that takes us from the putting greens of Augusta to the grid iron of a small parochial high school in Arkansas, Scorecasting will forever change how you view the game, whatever your favorite sport might be.

Big money NCAA basketball had its origins in a many-sided conflict of visions and agendas. On one side stood large schools focused on a commercialized game that privileged wins and profits. Opposing them was a tenuous alliance of liberal arts colleges, historically black colleges, and regional state universities, and the competing interests of the NAIA, each with distinct interests of their own. Kurt Edward Kemper tells the dramatic story of the clashes that shook college basketball at mid-century—and how the repercussions continue to influence college sports to the present day. Taking readers inside the competing factions, he details why historically black colleges and regional schools came to embrace commercialization. As he shows, the NCAA's strategy of co-opting its opponents gave each group just enough just enough to play along—while the victory of the big-time athletics model handed the organization the power to seize control of college sports. An innovative history of an overlooked era, Before March Madness looks at how promises, power, and money laid the groundwork for an American sports institution.

The Church has historically played a significant role in the development and preservation of African American families. Despite the tremendous difficulties experienced by African Americans as a result of slavery and the racism that has heretofore plagued American society, the church and family remain, by virtually all accounts, the two most enduring institutions in African American life. The Black Church and family have been seen as a union that is indelibly connected, with the life of either inextricably linked to the strength of the other.As in the past, the future vitality and preservation of African American family life will depend largely upon how churches wholistically address the needs that exist within the family context. African American family preservation involves the appropriation of those spiritual and temporal resources, including values, traditions, methods, processes, systems, philosophies and theologies which will result in the ongoing sustainment, vitality and valuation of family structures and communities.This book offers a framework for the church's engagement in the task of African American family preservation. The primary objective is to develop a model that can be used by churches to support the critical needs of African American families. The overall concern involves discovering ways in which we might better understand the contemporary African American church in relationship to the families which comprise it, and the community in which it resides. The objective here is to ascertain -- beyond any particular denominational distinctive or theological strand -- the effects of these and other theologies upon the Black church and family life.

Sport officials are tasked with maintaining order and adjudicating sport contests. Given their multifaceted role in enforcing rules, standardizing competitions, and keeping sport safe for all participants, they are a requisite part of the sport workforce. With ongoing reports of annual attrition rates in officiating in excess of 20-35% for various sports around the world, there is more than ample evidence that officiating dropout is a persistent, pervasive, and global challenge underpinned by multiple contributing factors including, but not limited to, the threat of verbal and physical abuse. Moreover, despite worldwide recognition and growing interest in the problem, there has not been a comprehensive resource for sport scientists and practitioners studying or working to reverse the ongoing trend. Sport Officiating: Recruitment, Development, and Retention provides a ‘state of the science’ summary in the emerging area of inquiry limited to sport officiating recruitment, development, and retention, and, provides insight and evidence-based approaches to the development of successful officiating development programs (ODP). This book is a primary reference work using a multifaceted, holistic, and evidence-based approach to integrate key findings from the sport science literature to date in suggesting and providing real-world solutions to the practical issues faced by sport organizers. Sport Officiating: Recruitment, Development, and Retention is a key resource for researchers interested in the development of sport officials and for sport practitioners aiming to implement officiating development programs (ODP) at any level within sport systems.

Extraordinary Space is a work of science fiction that blends romance and adventure with a newly postulated scientific thesis. In the novel, a new direction of travel available to humans is discovered mathematically and later brought to reality by the main character Lyte Donner. Lyte, with the help of his female assistant Jaseta Zee, makes use of his newly developed technology in a variety of ways including erradicating drug rings, dissolving street gangs, busting international terrorist organizations, and many others. Due to ordinary forces of Earth gravity, this new direction of travel has gone unrealized until Lyte neutralizes gravity in a realistic way consistent with current cutting edge technology. Lyte then balances all other forces that could cause movement in every heretofore known direction and this in turn causes movement in the path of least resistance which is in the new direction. The novel refers to this new direction as the fourth dimension but hold on to your hats because this is not the usual concept of the fourth dimension. Much theory and fiction have already been advanced about the fourth dimension time-space continuum but this novel deals with none of that. New science is proposed in the novel and the new direction of movement is the result of extending the rules of 3-dimensional Euclidean space to 4-dimensional space. It is Euclidean Four Space. Before arguing the point, the question is who can prove that this space doesnt exist? Caution is called for here. Proceed with an open mind. Lyte uses a device called the INTEGRAL to move into the new space which fully encompasses every point in the old ordinary space. A person reading the novel for the first time will likely make judgments based of his/her circle of knowledge and frame of reference and could refer to the INTEGRAL as a Teleportation device. This is new science. It would be a mistake to call the INTEGRAL a Teleportation device. The characters simply move into a new space. They are not teleported anywhere. Teleportation was probably a term new to many of us and introduced by the entertainment industry during the 1960s. We have advanced far beyond that and few if any of the old cliches are adequately able to describe the new science axiomated by the novel. It took several years to develop and complete the novel. The novel was completed prior to the events of 9/11/01. Ironically, Lyte Donner's first lead to terrorists in the book was centered around a pair of Middle Easterners traveling from London to Paris. The subject of terrorism is a major part of the book. The novel culminates on a complication of terrorism, which is resolved nicely. The book is alive with patriotism (again written even before the events of 9/11/01). Patriotism is now alive and well again in our country. It is a popular thing at present and throughout the novel, patriotism is thrust to the forefront. The book even explains how and why patriotism was subdued for such a long period of time, from Lyte's point of view of course. In the book, the term Ground Zero is used in its original sense. The term has now become a well recognized and repeated term. The book is appropriate for the time. The events described in the book are purely ficticious. Any resemblences to real events is strictly coincidental. Although the events in the book are fictional, some (but not all) of the events in the book carry an underlying theme that should be the concern of every American citizen.

LAPCHICK encapsulates Joe Lapchick's fifty-year career that mirrors the framework of basketball in America. Coach Lapchick, twice enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame, experienced a life in basketball that places him with a handful of the pioneers of the game. The book uses Joe Lapchick as a lens through which the rise and development of basketball is clearly understood. Lapchick began a professional career that led him in the 1920s to the famous Original Celtics where he became the game's most successful big man. After a successful professional career, he turned to coaching where he spent more than twenty years coaching at St. John's University [1936-1947, 1956-1965] only separated by nine years with the New York Knickerbockers. His record was among the nation's best, both as a collegiate and professional coach, winning four NITs. During his second stint at St. John's, Gus had the pleasure of playing for Coach Lapchick. The experience was so riveting that he later was motivated to write his coach's biography. Alfieri conducted more than 250 interviews, including ones with Lou Carnesecca, Wilt Chamberlain, Bobby Knight, and John Wooden.
