Similar to what IAABO International strives to accomplish with their various educational materials, study guides, videos, newsletters, seminars, etc.
Unfortunately, these consistent IAABO philosophies and principles often get diluted as they trickle down through the state and local levels.
A local IAABO board is only as good as it's most recent interpreter (trainer).
The only live professional basketball I'm exposed to is the WNBA Connecticut Sun.
When I watch these games I'm always impressed by the officials, their confidence, their skill, and their consistency, as if they're all made from the same mold.
