He can't. But he can terminate their contract; doesn't even have to go through the ruse of not scheduling them for any games.

There's a college football conference in my area that has done the same thing. No more Friday football for those guys.

I'm pretty sure I read an article about that in Referee magazine last year.

It makes a LITTLE more sense in football, as 90% of the HS games are Fridays and 90% of the college games are Saturdays, and he likely doesn't want tired and sleepy officials on the field.

Basketball, with scheduling any old day and multiple games a week, it seems to make less sense to me.
