2019-2020 - After a preempted breakout season, Blake set his sights on collegiate camps as a Basketball Official. In this pod, we discuss his season that was, how COVID-19 derailed his goals, pivoting to new goals as a personal trainer, and what the uncertain future holds. All that and more, my catch up in conversation with Blake, now.**With everything in limbo, and virtual, I decided I wanted to do something special for my local board in Nassau County, Long Island - New York. IAABO Board 41 is special to me because it’s my home association, the first time I ever took a certification class for Basketball. Albeit I failed the first time around,  I came back with a vengeance,  365 days later. The next 5 episodes will be featuring some of my fellow Board 41 Members that may have been overlooked, or are well known. Nonetheless, each member matters. Here they are on the Rant. Blake Redford up, first.

Episode 263, The Rant: Blake Redford.

Shadow Reffing

Mirror Officiating

Failure is something and I that Blake can relate to - like me, he failed the first time he tried to get certified for Basketball; only the first time I failed, it was the first time he passed, on his second go round.  In this pod, he discusses his playing style at Manhasset, his journey as an official, and the stickiest situation that I’ve ever heard in officiating to date.  All that and more, my conversation with Blake, now.
