From an email the MIAA sent to officials Friday night:
The MIAA has extended the deadline for officials to enroll and work the state tournament. It also announced that it was cutting all ties with the Mass. State Basketball Officials Assn. and would remove MSBOA representatives from all MIAA committees. It said it would work with individual IAABO boards and independent boards to insure that officials are represented on MIAA committees.

The MIAA said that it would be using 2-person crews through regional quarter-final games, unless the additional enrollment adds enough qualified officials to use 3-person crews.
Saturday's Boston Globe has a detailed article that was written before the email was sent:
