Secrets of the Most Thankless
NBA Job: Referee
|
By Sopan Deb - Sept. 23, 2020
The referee Zach Zarba had spent, by his count, roughly 23 nights a month away from home during the N.B.A.’s regular season for the past 17 years. Then the coronavirus pandemic hit, and the league suspended its season in March.
It was, in a way, a welcome shock to the system for Zarba, 45, who quarantined in Brooklyn with his wife, Christiane, and their two children, Jackson, 8, and Jordan, 6.

OBSERVER File Photo by Scott Kindberg In this August 2019 file photo, longtime basketball official Roger MacTavish, far right, is joined by friends, from th eleft, Russ Ecklund, Dae Polechetti and Jack Fulford at the Chautauqua Sports Hal l of Fame picnic at the Lakewood Rod & Gun Club. Ecklund and fulford are also former basketball officials, while Polechetti is the former Fredonia Central School boys varsity basketball coach.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The following article first saw the light of day on April 10, 2004 in recognition of area resident Roger MacTavish’s decades-long dedication to basketball officiating.
Deep in a file cabinet in The Post-Journal sports department are a bunch of folders arranged alphabetically.
In one folder — marked with an “M” — is a photo of a young man, not yet out of his teens, wearing a Hornell baseball uniform and cap. He’s staring into the camera from a catcher’s crouch.

Calling All Good IAABO Citizens
|
So many of us impact our communities and our world for the better. IAABO would like to highlight many of the good deeds our officials have done throughout the year. We want to emphasize our belief in being good corporate and community citizens in the areas where we live and work. So, whether it be a random act of kindness or an organized volunteer effort, no good deed is too big or too small! Trust us, we’ll be humble so that our officials can be proud. Send your email to IAABO @ info@iaabo.org and tell us about a good deed you did this year.
Some examples include:
- Rescued a puppy
- Bought lunch for a stranger
- Organized a fundraiser
- Volunteered at a homeless shelter
- Donated blood
- Shoveled a neighbor’s driveway
- Helped a friend in need

Officially Human; Behind the Stripes LLC (OH) was founded by Brenda Hilton as a grassroots effort to "humanize" sport officials in all sports at all levels. Brenda has spent close to 20 years working with sport officials and coordinators at the DI level and grown to appreciate them for all they do for our youth and young adults. OH is currently working with 12 high school associations (with more on the horizon) across the country to survey officials at that level, gathering information to take back constituents and participating states in hopes of building a nationwide campaign. To date, 16,000+ officials have shared thoughts and ideas on how to address the issue.
OH currently has sportsmanship banners available for purchase to be displayed at venues; they can be customized with the venue logo.
