Mom sent me this video today of an officer playing basketball with my little brothers in the backyard. With everything going on, the good needs to be shown as well. Thank you for giving my family a moment to remember! ❤️

@ViktaPaulo@GusGymnopoulos 2/2: Unfortunately, this move is not common and it may catch many Officials off guard because we are human and not perfect. As mentioned, it looks strange however by rule this is a legal play. Thanks for the clip!
@ViktaPaulo@GusGymnopoulos 1/2: Hey @ViktaPaulo! Apologies in the delay - we're not so active at the moment due to this COVID-19 pandemic.
✅ Legal: Gather on the left foot then right, left and up. It looks awkward because he makes it look like he's going to go same foot to same foot, but he doesn't.
We're a little excited that @CanadaCboc is providing such an excellent learning and development opportunity. For registration details, visit:

@CanadaCboc Great to see @FIBA recognize more than the players of this amazing game of ours. It was an incredible honor for @OVBABO members to meet and learn from the best referees from all over Canada, including MP Malo during the USPORTS #Final8
How exciting is it too see our very own Maripier Malo being recognized for her contribution to the game! She continues to serve as an inspiration for referees here in Canada and on the international stage. #EachforEqual
