New IABBO RULE BOOK

[maroonx]

Anyone know where I can purchase the current one?

If I'm not mistaken, IAABO is not a rule making body and as such does not publish a rule book. Instead, they publish their own set of officials manuals and set of mechanics.

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

IAABO publishes two handbooks: a High School Edition and a College Edition. Both editions contain IAABO's entire membership (including mailing address) list and the list of National officers and committee members and local officers.

The High School Edition also contains a copy of the NFHS Rules and Casebook, as well as a copy of the IAABO Manual for Two-Person and Three-Person Officiating.

The College Edition also contains copy of the NCAA Men's Rules.

One can go to the IAABO website (IAABO) and find instructions to order the Handbooks.

MTD is right, they publish the NFHS book under their own cover. I'll post a pic to FB for you.

IAABO is the biggest waste of money. I fail to see any benefit of me giving them 35USD every year. They plagiarize the NFHS, NCAA and FIBA rule books and add in their own manual that has some ridiculous guidelines. i.e. officials getting in trouble for not conducting a joint coaches and captains meeting.

I don't think they plagiarize, I believe they use them. Plagiarism would imply illegal use. I looked at the newest IAABO book, What trouble are are you referring to?

Sorry- plagiarize is not the correct term. They do in fact republish the above mention rule books.

As I mentioned before IAABO boards are chastising officials for not forcing the coaches to attend the captains meeting because it is in the IAABO manual but not the NFHS rule book.

I'm sorry that your local IAABO board is a waste of money. My local board does an excellent job of doing what all IAABO boards are supposed to do:

· To educate, train, develop, and provide continuous instruction for basketball officials.
· To promote the welfare of the game of basketball, its players and officials.
· To maintain the highest standard of basketball officiating.
· To encourage the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship.
· To have available at all times an adequate number of thoroughly trained and capable officials.
· To cooperate with all organizations officially connected with the game of basketball in furthering its interests and ideals.

My board also provides great education. That being said, it has nothing to do with IAABO. I was with one board that wasn't an IAABO board and another one that is. There was no difference in the instruction. If you gave my current board all NFHS books, removed the IAABO patch from our shirts ( and put the 10 dollars per patch back in our pockets) the quality of the instruction we receive would not change. As a result, neither would the quality of the officials.
