I did not imply that every basketball official should join IAABO. But I have basketball officiating friends from all over the country and the almost without exception, the reason that is given for not joining IAABO is that if it doesn't get me more games I am not going to waste my time and money.

I would hope that basketball officials would join IAABO because it is much more that a booking agent in some areas of the country. As I have said before IAABO's primary mission is the education and training of basketball official and it works hand-in-hand with the NFHS to achieve this goal.
