Preface:
A turmoil in China's basketball circle, former vice chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, Wang Libin, challenged the silence of Yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, which caused widespread heated discussions. After the Shaanxi Xinda strike, Wang Libin asked six thought-provoking questions that plunged Chinese Basketball Association chairman Yao Ming into a huge question.
Behind this turmoil lies the profound torture of China's sports management and leadership. On September 25, the Chinese Basketball Association announced that it would punish the Shaanxi Xinda team for the strike.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Libin expressed his dissatisfaction with the Shaanxi Xinda strike through social media.
He stressed the importance of criticism and education, noting that strikes are not the right way to solve problems. But this is not the most interesting point, and what is more interesting is his questioning of the referee.
Question 1: For Deep Basket Company, what is the significance of issuing a report that the referee is not liable?
The issue involves the responsibility of Deep Basket, the operator of the NBL league. Wang Libin questioned the authenticity and credibility of the referee's report, which is a matter of concern. He hinted that Deep Basketball may have been negligent in the referee's issue, does this mean that there are unspoken rules within the basketball association?
Question 2: Who should be responsible for the inconsistency of the penalty scale of the on-site referee?
This question directly named the referee, because there were many inconsistencies in the blowing of penalties during the game, which was an intolerant mistake.
Wang Libin made it clear that referees need to take responsibility. The job of the referees should be to maintain the fairness of the game, but if there is a problem with their performance, then the fairness of the game is threatened.
Question 3: What are the principles and procedures for selecting judges?
This issue relates to the selection and training mechanism of referees. Wang Libin questioned the process and criteria for selecting referees, which is also a concern.
If the selection and training of referees is not strict and standardized enough, then the fairness of basketball games cannot be guaranteed.
Question 4: How will NBL pre-game preparations be carried out, and has there been a replay?
This question focuses on the NBL league's pre-game preparation and replay procedures. Wang Libin questioned the adequacy and effectiveness of these procedures. This also leads to thinking about the level of league management, is there a management loophole?
Question 5: Is the response and response to the outstanding problems that arise at the competition site appropriate?
This question directly relates to the effectiveness of game site management and problem response. Wang questioned whether the parties concerned had taken appropriate measures to resolve the issue. This also reflects management's ability to make decisions and react to problems.
Question 6: Who is responsible for the referee's emotional loss of control?
The last question points directly to the problem of emotional control of referees. Wang Libin made it clear that referees who are out of control need to be held accountable. Loss of emotional control can not only negatively affect the game, but also damage the professional image of the referee.
The raising of these six questions has triggered extensive discussions, and also plunged Yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, into a storm of public opinion.
Yao's silence was interpreted as a lack of leadership management skills, while Wang Libin's questions revealed his higher level of leadership and management. Some have even suggested that, if possible, Wang Libin should succeed Yao Ming as president of the Chinese Basketball Association to promote improvements in basketball management in China.
However, we also need to make it clear that as the operator of the NBL league, it is not easy to hold it accountable.
The referee's issue is an obvious one that needs to be properly addressed, but more evidence and procedures are needed to hold Deep Basket accountable.
Unless someone reports the suspected corruption of the staff of the Shenzhen Basket Company in their real names, and a special unit intervenes in the investigation, there is no way to hold the Shenzhen Basket Company accountable.
