Concept—low operating budgets:
IBL teams have very low expenses and that is how they gain respect, by paying bills, by surviving financially, etc. The IBL has no desire to see ‘flashes in the pan’ teams that do not last. The IBL is here to last. Referee rates are $60 for the crew chief who calls in the box scores and $50 for the referee partners. If only two officials are present, the pay is still $60 and $50.

You have to call in the box score after the game? Are you kidding me?

How about the part where you have to call in the line-ups 5 minutes before tip-off? That's some wacky stuff.

That's why the crew chief gets the big bucks.

What a strange league..... I particularly like #23....

A player can call you all sorts of things without being whacked as long as the crowd does not hear it.... If the crowd can hear it, then you can whack him...... Hmmmmm

A league where the officials are less important than the hot dog vendor.

And they get paid less than the hot dog vendor too at $50/game.

'Nuff said right there. Ask Dan_ref what they get paid for a JV game in NY.
