I just tried to join a local association to work these games but can't because I'm over the weight maxiumum for their officials.
Thanks for the help

Is it legal to have this type of provision? I don't know I'm just asking. There are NFL lineman that would be over the weight maximum (I would guess) that would beat 99% of the officials down the court. You might not look good in stripes but what does weight have to do with it if you can get up and down the court?

Sure it is. It doesn't exclude any gender or race. It's a physical job and the hiring parties can have minimum physical requirements if they're properly documented. They can't just pull them out of a hat to keep a new applicant out if they've not already had the requirements.

Like I alluded to above there are 300 lb. plus NFL lineman that can beat my *ss and yours down the court and by definition would be considered obese you mean to tell me that they're unable to ref a basketball game? That's bull**** and absolutely wrong IMO. I'm by no means an expert, but that organization is on a slippery slope and they better make sure that there insurance is paid up to date.
