The ABA League reviewed officiating from the first four rounds at an online meeting with representatives of all 20 clubs. Refereeing Commission president Miguel Ángel Pérez said the analysis covered 722 incidents and was based on measurable, verifiable data rather than subjective judgments. He said no club had formally challenged any of the reviewed decisions.¹

Pérez said the league had played 40 games and that no refereeing mistake had determined a winner. However, he stopped short of describing the overall standard as perfect: “We cannot say that officiating was perfect or even very good, but it met the standard we set.” Two games—5% of the total—were rated below expectations, while many others were judged ordinary and some good.¹

The league also addressed criticism surrounding the Zadar–Ilirija and Spartak–Partizan games. Pérez said both had been assessed above average by observers linked to the EuroLeague, despite subsequent complaints about the officiating.¹

The league said it had issued a refereeing-criteria handbook to officials, observers and clubs before the season. Weekly online meetings now review every refereeing performance from the previous round, while reports and video clips of key situations are distributed to teams and referees.²

Pérez added that the league had introduced a new video-replay tool and was preparing a seminar for all ABA League referees in late November. The programme is expected to cover communication, instant replay, physical preparation and knowledge of the rules, with outside experts also taking part.¹
