Navy blue ref pants

SeanFitzRef

Any one know where I can get some navy blue ref pants? I'm thinking Sansabelt, like the ones used in the NBA.

The NBA uses Navy Blue? Since when? 😕

This is from 2004 playoffs, and they've been using them for a while now...

Not sure why you want Navy, but this place advertises that it sells them:

I guess you are right. I had to look very closely. I did not realize this before. Just goes to show how much I pay attention to the NBA.

Try this website.

SeanFitz,

Who do I need to get a hold of to do that? I know it is too late this year but I want to go to the camp for next year. How do they do travel?

Congrats on working games for IBL.....They didn't give you a list of recommended suppliers for your gear? Where are you getting your shirt from?

Gotta hit the pro-am camp in Vegas. That is where they get most of their officials.

No, every crew I'm in is three whistle.

As far as travel, they keep you regional to keep costs down. I don't have to travel very far for the great majority of my games.

And no, I haven't gotten a list of prefered providers yet.

And... Thanks for the congrats!

And here is a list of their refs. A lot of guys from Oregon and Washington state.

And Ben, here is the new applicants form.

Yeah I am going to work alot of pro-am camps and summer leagues this year, so I was just going to wait until I did that before I filled it out, but thanks though.

From what I hear this is where the nba is going to start their low,low level guys at, now that the CBA is done with. It is just a rumor that I know of right now.

Concept—low operating budgets:
IBL teams have very low expenses and that is how they gain respect, by paying bills, by surviving financially, etc. The IBL has no desire to see ‘flashes in the pan’ teams that do not last. The IBL is here to last. Referee rates are $60 for the crew chief who calls in the box scores and $50 for the referee partners. If only two officials are present, the pay is still $60 and $50.

You have to call in the box score after the game? Are you kidding me?

How about the part where you have to call in the line-ups 5 minutes before tip-off? That's some wacky stuff.

That's why the crew chief gets the big bucks.

What a strange league..... I particularly like #23....

A player can call you all sorts of things without being whacked as long as the crowd does not hear it.... If the crowd can hear it, then you can whack him...... Hmmmmm

A league where the officials are less important than the hot dog vendor.
