While NASO is happy to let you belive that so you can buy thier insurance, this is NOT correct.
From
http://www.bollingernfhs.com/03-10-03/html/nfoa1.html (who is the administrator for the NFOA insurance):
The insurance coverage applies only while the member official is performing his/her officiating duties (as defined below) during regularly scheduled sports or activities competitions.
Coverage is not limited to high school activities. It also applies to officiating activities for college, junior college, independent youth or recreational leagues, but only for sports that are recognized for high school participation by that state's high school association.
So, as long as the sport is a HS sport (and basketball is in all 50 states) and the games was "scheduled" (no pickup games), you're covered.
NASO insurance may give you coverage for a greater dollar amount or provided better service but you have coverage for all the game that you may be working regardless of the level or who assigns them.
