Testimonials
Testimonial by
Karel Kraaijeveld
Alan is an absolute master when it comes to scouting and coaching young referees. I enjoyed working with him during my time as a referee in the Euroleague and FIBA. Even after my active career as a referee, I worked with Alan when I was National FIBA Instructor for the Dutch Basketball Association. I learned a lot from him and I still
look back on that with great pleasure. I would like to advise all young referees to be trained and guided by this TOP basketball professional.

Alan Richardson, teacher, mentor, friend. When I met him the first thing that I have noticed was his energy and passion about basketball and refereeing.
I was privileged to learn from Alan in a lot of the camps that he hosted and to pass my Fiba exam while he was still active in Fiba Europe. His advices and suggestions helped me a lot to improve my communication skills and my overall refereeing during my career.

Four years ago, I stumbled upon your blogs on the Can Do Basketball page while scrolling through Facebook. Little did I know then that this would be the beginning of a true transformation in my officiating career.
I had initially thought I knew a lot about officiating, but your blogs made me realise just how much I still had to learn to become a great referee. Since then, I’ve read your posts daily, and the impact on my officiating has been incredible...
