Umpires' Role in Building Trust: Smart umpiring in BBL 2024-25 helped build a stronger sense of trust between players, coaches, and officials. ThampiBook highlights how the transparency of technology-driven decisions allowed players to have more confidence in umpire calls. With tools like ball-tracking and ultra-motion replays, the likelihood of contentious decisions decreased. Umpires’ use of these technologies showed a commitment to fair play, reinforcing the belief that the system was working in the best interest of the game. ThampiBook points out that this trust was key in fostering a cooperative atmosphere between players and officials throughout the season.
