Officiating major events like the 2017 Summer Universiade, the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019, and EuroBasket 2022 also highlights the trust that international organizations place in this referee’s abilities. It’s always interesting to read about the people who help maintain fairness in professional sports. After following intense competitions like these, I sometimes like to relax with something lighter, such as playing Ragdoll Hit, which is a fun way to unwind after thinking about high-level basketball action.
