Not Just For IAABO Members ...

[BillyMac]

It was announced locally that the annual IAABO International Handbook (that normally contains the IAABO constitution and member roster, an IAABO Mechanics Manual, a NFHS Rulebook, and a NFHS Casebook) will, beginning in 2022-23, no longer contain a NFHS Rulebook, and a NFHS Casebook.

Have any other IAABO members heard about this?

I'm aware that these two books can be purchased from the NFHS website ($10.00 each).

How do those outside of the IAABO galaxy usually obtain their NFHS Rulebooks, and NFHS Casebooks?

A few years ago, our state association (CIAC) wanted our six local IAABO boards to join the NFHS through our CIAC existing membership (with an increase in our CIAC membership fee). Every other Connecticut high school sport does this (joins the NFHS through our CIAC), but not basketball. We fought the proposal using the argument that we already get our NFHS Rulebook and NFHS Casebook in the IAABO Handbook, a good argument at the time.

Quoth the raven, "Nevermore".

Does membership in the NFHS, through a state association, mean free, or discounted, rulebooks and casebooks?
