Until this handshake problem, I did not even know that I was a "member" of the state board -- the Mass. State Basketball Officials Assn. That board has no individual members. Instead, it is made up of leaders from each IAABO board in Massachusetts. I don't like someone speaking on my behalf who has not even solicited my opinion.

I know several members, including some executive board members, of my IAABO board, completely disagreed with the state board action. There has been talk of joining another non-IAABO board or disaffiliating from IAABO and becoming an independent board. There are six independent officials' boards in Massachusetts that are recognized by the MIAA.
