I'm in the opposite boat. I've never been associated with IAABo, so therefore, I don't know what the advantages are. In NC, we follow the policies, testing, and rating systems that are instituted by the NCHSAA, the same body that governs high school athletic programs in our state. We have one organization. I think that's an advantage.
On the other side, I would like to know why you guys who are IAABO or FIBA are so damn sensitive? Every time Mark Padgett cracks a joke about one of these organizations, somebody gets offended. I assume that's what you were speaking of, since that's was the only remark that I read in the other post that gave a "negative conotation." The original poster just wanted to posted his displeasure about the software he purchased but couldn't make work.
Give us break, fellas, and stop being so defensive.
