According to the Bye-Laws of  FIBA Europe the Technical Commission is responsible for the training of officials for the international basketball competitions in Europe.

The duties of European Technical Commission - training of referees, commissioners, FIBA National Referee Instructors, evaluators and also table officials has not changed in the last years. At the same time FIBA Europe has opened a new era in European basketball, the era that provides a natural way for changes. It is obvious that for maintaining the achieved level and for improving the level of officiating in Europe the work of the Technical Commission and the training programme of referees should develop new ideas. All the members will be continuously actively involved in the work of the Technical Commission.

FIBA Europe Technical Commission should also examine and prepare proposed amendments to the Official Basketball Rules to be submitted to the World Technical Commission.

Implementation of listed responsibilities means preparation and organisation of clinics for the different target groups of officials in cooperation with the FIBA Europe Competitions Department and the National Federations. The Technical Commission prepares the agenda and recommends training tools and lecturers.

Referees

First and most importantly, the Clinic for International Referees is a Clinic for the FIBA Referee Candidates. The Technical Commission pays special attention to the organisation of Clinics for the Referee Candidates in Europe. For licensed FIBA referees the refreshment clinics are organised to improve their level of officiating. The Technical Commission has started to evaluate of referees during FIBA Official Tournaments.

Commissioners

Basketball is changing continuously. The most important duty of the Technical Commission is to follow these dynamics, and in training referees to take into consideration all new trends in basketball.
