It’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 couldn’t and still can’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 doesn’t care how well the official can apply them.

If a test has 4 legs and you call its tail a leg, how many legs does it have?
