Yes, I am a member of IAABO. In fact I am member of several IAABO national committees. [/B][/QUOTE] Then can you explain to me how official's choice got the exclusive rights to IAABO products. It is more like IAABO official's ONLY choice. I have had poor service from them and would love to use a different provider-but they have a monopoly on IAABO products. If they are going to have that exclusive contract can they at least be forced to sell the IAABO patch to members so we can use other providers and sew the IAABO patch on. Please don't just tell me to ask my board secretary to order them. I have asked and been told to order it myself from official's choice--but officials choice won't sell the patch alone to me. Not only has their service been lousy-but they don't sell my size. I am 6 ft. 8in. 205 lbs. Tall but not XL and definitely not XXL. Other companies sell tall sizes but no choice does not. Can you recommend who at IAABO I can email to get assistance on this? [Edited by oc on Nov 12th, 2003 at 12:49 AM] |

Why IAABO
IAABO is the only way you can call a basketball game varsity to middle school in Maine. I think itÂ’s like anything in life you get out of it what you put into it. ItÂ’s my understanding that in some states IAABO is being viewed as a bad thing because a number of officials who have been calling high school games for years couldnÂ’t and still canÂ’t pass the test. The IAABO test is set up to test the officials rule knowledge and how they apply it to the game. I know the NFHS test is setup to see if the official knows the rules word for word and doesnÂ’t care how well the official can apply them.
by the way: Officials Choice gets the rights to sell IAABO stuff by giving the IAABO ten thousand dollars each year.

"Best Training Organization."
On Tuesday, the Secretary/Treasurer of our association recommended IAABO to all officials. He said it was the "best training organization around." Now that might be true, but there is not much they can do for most officials in my area. He also said that if you move to the East Coast, you had to be an IAABO member to get games or move up the ranks. But I do not have any attention on going over there, so it does me no good.
Peace

Is the $10,000 a rough guess or definite knowledge? For exclusive rights thats a good price. I like IAABO and am proud to be a member. (I studied a ton to pass that test.) But this part has really been annoying. I guess I should email IAABO directly and get the scoop. [Edited by oc on Nov 15th, 2003 at 09:58 AM] |
