The KBL will operate a referee exchange program in partnership with Japan's professional basketball league, the B.League.

On the 28th, the KBL announced through a press release that it would invite three promising referees from the B.League to conduct an intensive non-season referee training program from August 3 to 7.

This program was established as a follow-up exchange initiative under the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between the KBL and the B.League last May. It responds to the B.League's request to learn from the KBL's advanced referee education programs and operational systems, with the aim of sharing referee management know-how between the two leagues and expanding international referee exchanges.

According to the league, the invited B.League referees will directly participate in intensive non-season training and educational sessions alongside the KBL refereeing staff. They are scheduled to undergo systematic education programs including physical training such as fitness and circuit training, swimming rehabilitation programs, video-based instruction, and presentations on game headquarters operational systems. Additionally, they will be assigned to KBL practice games to gain hands-on experience.

The KBL plans to share referee education systems and operational philosophies with the B.League through this exchange and continue to expand international referee exchanges and joint education programs in the future.
