Division I basketball is a 5+ month season. Started in early November this year, the regular season concludes with conference championships the second week of March. That's 4.5 months. If you include post-season tournaments that last another month you have 5.5 months. Considering many of these officials are also working a few scrimmages before the season starts you could conceivable work pretty steady for almost 6 months.
