Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a must guide for referees
Review: This is an excellent book written by a master referee who emphasizes the spirit of the game and the role of the referee in promoting fairness, protecting players and letting the game flow. Dirk Baay was a player at Ajax and has been a referee in Colorado for many years. He has an insider's understanding of the game. He presents the rules and shows how to apply them to help the game flow and keep it under control. He has a knack for briefly summarizing his advice: "Don't blow what you see, blow what you must." At the end he presents an interesting series of game situations and disucsses how to handle them. I have recommended this book to two referees who tried hard but just did not get the game. The book is a must for referees who did not grow up with the game and valuable for those did.
