Ohio High School Certification Question

[hoopguy]

Almost impossible. In my IAABO board(probably all IAABO boards but not sure) you can't get certified until you are 18. In order for an 18 year old to work college games the person would have to get certified in December and be working college games that same season.

I guess if his close relative was the assigner it could be possible....

Not that I disagree with you about being nearly impossible to be a DII referee that young. However there is no requirement to do even one high school game in order to work college. Not sure that it has happened where someone works college having never done high school but its not required.

It is rare but Ted Valentine being the most high profile example I know of.
