IAABO? If not, why not? If you are, why?

That's an awful high horse you're sitting on Mr. DeNucci. A dissappointing attitude to say the least. Your posts have always been very informative and accurate with regards top the rules. You obviously know the game. But I see know reason for you to criticize others, just because they don't belong to an organization that you hold dear.

Personally, I have no desire to belong to the IAABO. That's not an excuse, it a reason. Unless it would be required of me or would benefit me, why should? Can the IAABO provide me with something that I don't already have? Will I be able to enjoy the comraderie that comes with meeting other IAABO members? Are there clinics in my area, where we can meet and discuss basketball officiating? I wouldn't even know about this organization, had I not learned of it through discussion boards such as this.

If I should belong to this organization just because it exists, then why shouldn't you join the NCHSAA?
