In this episode of the Crown Refs Podcast, we explore the journey from our inception to becoming a thriving community for basketball officials. The narrative begins before 2018, detailing the launch of inaugural show, "The Basketball Shop," co-hosted by Mr. Pink. It then delves into the introduction of the Individual Performance Report (IPR) service—a film review and game breakdown offering—that provides officials with invaluable feedback to enhance their skills.

We share insights about the organic growth of the Crown Refs community, particularly through the launch on the Patreon platform in 2021. This initiative fostered a network of like-minded, dedicated, and passionate basketball officials united by shared values. The episode underscores the importance of adding individuals who embody these principles, contributing to an enriching and empowering environment. Additionally, it highlights the latest chapter in the Crown Refs story: the introduction of in-person skill development clinics, set to commence on April 12, 2025, with plans for monthly clinics throughout the spring. These clinics aim to further support officials in their continuous pursuit of excellence.
