Memo from the National Coordinator - August 20, 2012
To: Officials Working Men's College Games in 2012-13 From: John W. Adams As you may be aware, the CCA has opted NOT to continue with their exclusive arrangement of branding the pregame warm up jackets officials wear during warm ups. As a result, EITHER a jacket WITH the CCA logo or a jacket WITHOUT the CCA logo are the required attire for officials during the pregame warm ups. The conversation about a possible new logo for the jackets will commence at the coordinator meetings in Indianapolis in mid September. The 2012-2013 Men's Basketball Officiating Mechanics Manual will state that officials may opt to wear a lightweight style of the officiating jacket and it may have the CCA logo on it or it may not. The decision to permit either style (logo or no logo) was arrived at so officials would NOT have to buy new jackets but rather once a decision is made on a new logo, patches can be manufactured to cover the old logo or to attach to the jackets. Please direct any questions you might have about this issue to me (
