David Pearson on Refereeing
|
 David Pearson is one of the world's great squash minds.
This week for SquashMad.com, he writes about refereeing.
"There will always be an issue in squash with lets and strokes.
"That's a matter of opinion, and not what I think we should focus on when talking about referees.
"The thing that I notice most of all is the lack of control that the referee has over the players."

TRUTH & Rumors
|
-
 Rumors are circling about a potential new Drexel University squash facility. If it comes to pass, imagine the most impressive facility in the world ... and you'll be approaching what they're planning. - Bromance duo Nick Matthew and Zafi Levy were palling around Richmond, VA this past week. Levy, America's King of Squash Camps, was "coaching" Matthew at the PSA World Series tournament. Matthew is also promoting his book, "Sweating Blood."
- PSA and WSA were months ago rumored to be flirting with a merger. But this week's WSA World Championship is being streamed on its own here, separate from PSA SquashTV.
- BTW, the crowds at the women's event were very impressive.
- Oh, and this event is actually the WSA's 2013 championship. Better late than never.
- Interesting side note, PSA copied PST a few years back and changed the name of their capstone event from the World Open to the PSA World Championship. WSA decided to do the same this year. For the traditionalists, that will be upsetting news.
- US-based PST gets loudly mocked in England. But its ideas are more often than not quietly copied.
- Speaking of copycats, US Squash has a new weekly, electronic publication promoting their stuff, called the Digital Drive. But it's basically just a commercial for their events. #Boring
- Evidently what's not boring is Truth and Rumors. SquashMad.com, one of our two favorite squash sites (#DSR #SquashMad), has decided to grab Truth & Rumours content and print it on their pages here.
- We're glad they like it, but you'll always get it here first.
- We would like those MadMen to double check how the spell Rumors though. #Rumours
- Pennsylvania's Dickinson College is looking for a coach for its new varsity squash program. Expect world class players and coaches to be vying for that plum of a job.
- Twitter is 8 years old today. #HappyBirthdayTwitter from #SquashEzine
