In a momentous recognition of their dedication and excellence, three remarkable referees from NBL1 South were handpicked to officiate at the NBL1 National Finals in Joondalup, Western Australia. The trio, consisting of Brad Henshaw, Bianca Vernan, and Josh Dulard, have risen to the top of their field, showcasing their expertise and precision throughout the NBL1 South 2023 season.
Brad Henshaw, distinguished as the NBL1 South 2023 Men’s Referee of the Year, also earned himself a place in the Men’s National Grand Final officiating team.
Their participation in the NBL1 National Finals not only acknowledges their hard work but also solidifies their status as top-tier referees within the NBL1 South.
NBL1 South & Basketball Victoria's Technical Officials Elite Development Officer Ruben Woolcock expressed his praise for the three officials.
"I'm was excited for Brad, Josh and Bianca to feature their skills on a National stage. Their selection comes off the back of a mountain of hard work and consistent performance in NBL1 South and is a deserved opportunity to continue their development at a high-level event."
