New officials
Can anyone link me to their associations policy on new recruits?
Or just share some of the guide lines and criteria? Our policy is to accept all who apply. Many come to us never having played or coached the game at any level and with no knowledge of the game at all. We still train them & assign them. As I posted before, I am looking at new ways to bring a higher quality official into our membership. I believe the first step is a guideline. Thanks, |

Basketball - Upper Peninsula Officials Association
Our association isn't that active as we get our own games in this area, but here is an idea of what our guide lines say. |

2-I personally believe that if you played or coached the game, you have a concept of the game BEFORE you become a referee. I agree they are different and it is not necessary but helpful. Does YOUR association accept every applicant? We have for years. Most years we get about 5 to 10 new officials. I am looking to recruit officials who will lead us into the next 15 to 20 years. literally half of our 50 members are over 50 years old. We need youth and we are not getting it. 4 of the 6 new referees this year were over 50 years old. Last edited by Terrapins Fan; Mon Feb 24, 2014 at 02:00pm. |

Some targeted recruiting towards recent high school and college grads that played basketball for their school might not be a bad place to start.

As for former players and coaches. When I was very active in our chapter some of our top officials never played or coached the game. When they decided to take up officiating, basketball fit into their work schedule the best. I based my decision of which sport to officiate on a simple thing...I asked myself "When it is in the upper 30's (temp) and pouring down raining would I rather be in a warm dry gym working a game or standing in the elements on a football field." Seemed like an easy answer to me... |

another idea would be to contact youth coaches at the 11/12 yr old level, especially rec coaches vs the fully invested "Friday Night Tykes" style travel coaches. A lot of them won't continue coaching once their kids get to about 13 or so and transition to middle school/high school but they may still want to stay in the game. Heck, that's the path I took and I've heard many others say the same.

Because not everybody is qualified. Not everyone can do this job not from a physical standpoint not from a mental standpoint. Just my opinion.
one of our applicants was about 5 foot 8 inches tall and nearly 300 pounds. |

You know, somebody needs to officiate the little kids' games. |

Pass Two Exams ...
Our rookies have to pass a written IAABO exam, and then, if they pass the written exam, a floor exam. If they just barely fail the written exam, they can take the floor exam, and if they pass it, they can retake the written exam at the end of the season.

Or just share some of the guide lines and criteria Certainly. New recruits have to buy beer all night after the game. Andgiven they must sing their college fight song upon request |
