    Lost it’s way
    Been a follower for years but it seems Paul & the podcast has lost its way. Not offering much on content anymore, instead, just out to make money. Don’t hate em for that, just not what I’m tuning in for. The evaluations at AAU tournaments are tough to listen to.

    Great podcast
    As a younger official I’m always trying to find more info and tips to improve. This podcast is amazing

    Keys to improving as a official
    I started listening to this podcast over a year ago, and I was instantly hooked. I went back and listened to every episode. At the time I think there was 50 or so episdoes. Every episode I walk away with multiple tips to implement into my game. It has become a great pregame listen on my way to my games and helps keep those tips from the episode fresh. Paul does a great job not only bringing great guest but keeping the content ideas new and different, from the IDP, to rules talk, the NBA/NCAA Officials and more, I enjoy every episode. Please continue to keep up the great work and know that many officials appreciate the content.

    Great podcast by officials, for officials
    I’m up to episode 21. Only about 35 to go to be caught up, but I’ll get there soon. Paul and his buddies give great advice and perspective about a variety of topics related to officiating basketball.

    Crown
    Crown Refs is a phenomenal podcast for officials. Paul puts out tremendous content on all media platforms. His podcasts are great tremendous and the guests he has been able to get show how passionate he is about improving the game for all officials. He is also very open and has personally helped me with questions about summer camps even though we have never met. Great work

    As a 2nd year official, this content is excellent at accelerating my growth. I’ve learned a ton of material, and can’t wait to implement the new stuff when the fall season rolls around.

  • hayjamawas
    Excellent officiating tool
    I have learned so much from this podcast. Everything from communication with players and coaches to how to think, what to think, why to think. Highly recommended for all officials at all levels
  • patrickremis
    Great tool for any level of officiating!
    I love officiating basketball. It’s a passion of mine. When I found Crown Refs and started to really listen to them it woke me up to a whole new thinking of officiating. Nothing really compares to what they do and help you through. I’ve tried to watch YouTube videos and read articles. But The Crown Refs really dive deep into the understanding and fundamentals of officiating with real life situations we have all faced as officials! I love listening and will continue to listen!
  • drbsavvy
    Tangible officiating information
    This podcast has in game information, crew dynamic/personal growth insights, & coach/player/fan interaction admonition to elevate your officiating journey to a higher professional level. Great stuff for aspiring & growing basketball officials.
  • Goofy_jay
    Great information!!!
    The content you guys have is amazing!!!! This is a great way to keep the officiating mind sharp during the off season. I love that there’s a little bit of everything here. From coaches, basketball players, NBA refs, college refs to high school officials attending camps. Can’t wait to see how big this brand can become.
  • Joey Sardinas
    Great podcast for officials
    I’ve learned so much from Crown Refs. It covers all different officiating topics. Great tool to prepare for the season.
  • official43196
    Great podcast!
    As a newer official who is now trying to advance in my officiating career, this podcast has helped me out a lot! Listing and understating where other officials are coming from and where they are at now is just incredible and motivating! This year was my first year that I took the initiative to attend a number of camps! My 4 hour drive to one of my camps, I listened to several episodes going, which really got my mindset in place for camps, clinicians, evaluators, directors, coaches, players, and just communication! I appreciate this podcast very much! Thank you for all you do!

    Paul provides specific content/tips for officials no matter what level. I’ve applied some of Paul’s advice on the floor and I can say without a doubt I am much more confident on the floor. Thank you Paul for serving the game.

    Terrific insights
    Candid, helpful, with a “been there, learned that” humility Lot of “between the ears” material for how to handle situations, improve on-court presence, etc Enjoy it tremendously and learn a lot from each episode Keep it up, and thanks

    Crown Refs Pod Cast
    Paul provides great content for basketball officials by a basketball official, thank you! The content is extremely informative, presented in a way that allows officials at any level to enjoy. From game to game situations that come up, to what a clinician looks for in an official to get the call to the next level. Paul provides information on how to prepare for try out camps or the upcoming season.

    What the rule book doesn’t teach
    A great resource to help improve your game no matter your level. I only wish I had this my first couple years as an official.
  • Richfromboston
    Great for Officials Coaches and Players
    A great podcast for officials and would be officials to learn how to interact with partners, coaches and players. Also this helps you get the best out of your game. If you were a coach or player you’ll understand the way an official thinks
  • yankeeboy818
    Awesome content
    Hi Paul, I just want to start off by saying Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! I am a little excited with trying out all of the content I have listened from your podcast. I can’t wait for HS basketball season to start. I have already used some of the responses with coaches. It has helped me so much. I am now calm and using more rule book terminology. Thank you again

    For real, for real
    Finally a podcast based out of the Mecca of BBall. These two guys are real: gritty and self-deprecating. Looking forward to seeing how this podcast evolves to include coaches, big time officials etc. while becoming more polished.
