Anyone get worse after the first few years?

IAABO transfers fill in, for the most part, seamlessly, including transfers from Connecticut's other local IAABO boards, or from IAABO boards outside Connecticut. Our assigning commissioner communicates with the transfer's previous assignment commissioner and they will usually pick up where they left off. I believe that these transfers are assigned schedules according to the IAABO (International) constitution, and bylaws.

Transfers from non-IAABO associations are another story. Our assignment commissioner will try to get as much information about the transferring official as possible. Our assignment commissioner will also schedule the transferring official for a few preseason scrimmages, and observe said official, and base the transfer's schedule on the observation.

And, yes, it is almost like paradise. Connecticut basketball game fees for 2012-2013: Varsity Fee: $89.76; Sub Varsity Fee: $58.21.

How much of it is worked 3-person? How much travel money are you paid?

There's more to doing this than the paycheck you receive for the game.

That is true, but BMac is getting more than double what we get in WA state for a three man varsity game. WOW!

Almost all two person games, except for an occasional holiday tournament. No mileage, however the longest trip, one way from one corner, to the other corner, of our area is 55 miles, so I'm guessing that the average one way trip would be around fifteen, to twenty, miles, one way.

Is this for a single game?

Fee, per person, per game, and subvarsity includes freshman, and middle school, games.

Is that 1 game per night or 2? Here there is no set fee for officials.
The state association leaves it up to the school. Some schools will pay mileage for the driver. We get anywhere between $100 to $150 for 2 varsity games per official. Always have a girls game followed by a boys game.

All varsity assignments are single games. Occasionally subvarsity officials will get a freshman/junior varsity doubleheader, or a middle school/junior varsity doubleheader.

Fee is set by our state interscholastic sports governing body, with automatic raises each year equal to the average salary increase for teachers in the state.

Girls and Boys on same nights? So 2 crews?

No. Same two guys work both games. Even in the top 2 classes which are 3 man they work both games.

Maryland (I belonged to two associations that serviced around 4 or 5 leagues): we only worked one game per night and the highest game fee was $65 (Catholic League). Some leagues had boys and girls on the same night at the same location, but not all of them did it this way.

Mississippi: double headers - girls varsity followed immediately by boys varsity. Game fee for both games (combined)...$60 when I first got there and it went up to $75!!! Love of the game people, love of the game.

Las Vegas: almost all schools have two gyms and there are 6 games played at a site per night. Games are played at 3:30pm, 5pm and 6:30pm. Double headers happen, but they are not something we do every night. Coincidentally, I am filling in with our sister crew tonight and my partners are doing the girls varsity game...I will be lonely in the locker room. Our game fee is somewhere around $50. I guess that is something I should know huh?

Seldom happens here in my little corner of Connecticut. Boys and girls usually play on different nights. Usual schedule is boys on one night (4:00 p.m. freshman, 5:30 p.m. junior varsity, 7:00 p.m. varsity), and girls on the next night (4:00 p.m. freshman, 5:30 p.m. junior varsity, 7:00 p.m. varsity).

...the handling of the Technical Foul after the Player Control Foul.

This is something that you can fix, and the correct handling of the mechanics gets you back on track confidence-wise. Move right into your pre-gamed handling of a technical foul.

Report, get a shooter, administer, deal with any subs, and put the ball in play. Nail this sequence of events and you are back on track.

I have suggested a similar mechanism here but it hasn't got far. Basically, the teacher's (including the AD's) are certain to fight for their raises through their union when it comes up for discussion but, for some reason, they see no need for officials to also get the same raise...they just as soon see us get a pay cut.
