The Chinese Basketball Association is the most populous member of the more than 200 members of the International Basketball Federation. Chinese basketball is also an important and iconic segment of international basketball in Asia and around the world. In order to better maintain the standards and levels of Chinese basketball basketball in line with international basketball Consistently, to comprehensively improve the competitiveness of Chinese basketball, especially the men’s team in the World Series, the referee standards of the CBA Chinese Men’s Basketball Professional League 2022-2023 were completely compared with the FIBA. About the concept of international arbitration in the new season of the CBA championship, the experts of the refereeing committee of the Chinese Basketball Association answered.
What are the reasons for the CBA referee change in the new season?
In recent years, due to a variety of force majeure factors, Chinese men’s and women’s basketball teams have been training in domestic closed-circuit competitions for a long time, and there are fewer opportunities to go overseas to participate in intercontinental competitions. or world cup. Through the Asian Cup and Men’s Basketball World Cup qualifiers held this year, we found that participating Chinese athletes are very uncomfortable with physical confrontation and referee standards in the international arena. From the referee point of view, we also found that there is a certain gap between the refereeing concepts of national referees, cognitive and executive capacity and international ones, therefore, the new season has further clarified the refereeing rules of the CBA championship, and fully compared the arbitration rules of FIBA.
How did the changes to the enforcement rules work?
Last season, FIBA conducted professional monitoring and evaluation of 134 CBA league games and found many points inconsistent with FIBA’s referee philosophy, such as the minor contact that was declared foul, the omission of obvious violations and illegal fouls. the rate is not high. The referee in the new season will perform a full benchmark against FIBA standards, optimize the CBA championship competition rules in the new season and try to be consistent with FIBA basketball rules to the maximum extent possible.
How to make the new application rules known to more people?
The Referees Committee of the Chinese Basketball Association and the CBA League will popularize the latest basketball rules both internally and externally through various forms. Before the start of the new CBA season, a training meeting on the competition rules of the new season was held for the hosts, commentators and some public signal production teams of the rights-holding broadcasting platforms, as well as athletes, coaches and staff of various clubs special training on the new rules.
In the next phase, with the advancement of the CBA championship, the dissemination of the latest rules and interpretations of the FIBA basketball rules will continue and a special column will be launched through the official platform of the Chinese Basketball Association to interpret the representative cases in the championship. for most of the fans.
Implementation and implementation of the FIBA arbitration concept and full alignment with FIBA standards is not something that can be achieved overnight. All parts need an adaptation process. We also sincerely hope to hear the voices of the majority of professionals, media, fans and all sectors of society, and strive to strive for excellence. Achieve rule-aware consensus in a shorter time and wider range to create a better tomorrow for Chinese basketball.
