It is a great pleasure that we inform you of our friend's nomination and FIBA instructor Fred Horgan from Canada as FIBA AMERICAS official rules interpreter. Fred is member of our Technical Commission and also of World FIBA, jointly with Mario Hopenhaym and Hank Nichols. Recently it has been named to write on the new text of the Official Rules.

He also will be in charge of handling a space in our web page related with the game rules and their interpretations. This section will be known as the Rule’s Corner. We want Fred to help us with his knowledge an experience in this matter and in this way to fill an empty space that has the referees in our continent, in such a way that they could upgrade their knowledge and consequently improve their performance.

By this means I would like to thank Fred and specially our Technical Director Mr. Anibal García for the idea and implementation of this space, that it surely be an asset to our organization, and eventually will be of benefit to all of our affiliated Federations and future international events.

Alberto Garcia
Deputy Secretary General
