This is my first year as a member. It's difficult for IAABO members to join the NFHS here in Connecticut...

Why is that?

For some reason, Connecticut is a state where only entire official associations, i.e. volleyball, football, softball, etc., can join the NFHS. This came from an agreement between the CIAC, our state high school athletics governing body, and the NFHS. Most officials groups do join. Basketball is an exception. All basketball officials here in the "Land of Steady Habits" are affiliated with IAABO, and we get our NFHS rulebook, NFHS casebook, and our IAABO manual, from IAABO. There is no need to join the NFHS, so we don't.

I felt guilty using pirated online NFHS rulebooks, and NFHS casebooks, so I approached the CIAC about joining as an individual. I couldn't, so they pulled off an end around and let me join with the volleyball officials group. For only $12.00 per year I get access to all the online rulebooks, etc.
