Ex-NBA referee due today for clinic

Former NBA referee and supervisor of officials Darrel Garretson is slated to plane in today via Northwest Airlines to conduct a series of modules for basketball referees in the country as part of the Asian Basketball Academy-Philippines' Summer 2000 Program.

While Module II for pro-level referees has already been virtually filled up, registration is still going on for Module I which is intended for referees in the collegiate, high school, elementary and barangay levels, and those who intend to start on an officiating career.

Module I of the Referees' Academy will start this Friday, at the RFM Gym in Mandaluyong City and will last up to Sunday.
