Welcome to IAABO Play Book+
CB+ 2.8.5 Concussion Management
|
This video was developed by IAABO to show the Casebook in a visual format and help officials learn the rules by seeing them applied.
You, the viewer, can decide how to utilize the video to gain a better understanding of the rules(s) and concepts.
For individuals who want to understand the play situation, the clip contains a title page, casebook page, and a "Key Concepts" page that outlines each play situation and the pertinent rules that apply. Each of these pages will stay on the screen for 3 seconds. The viewer can "pause" the video on any of these pages to allow the necessary time to read the information.
If the viewer wishes to go directly to the video clip, simply move your cursor to the 9-second mark of the clip and watch the play. See if you can determine the correct ruling. The clip will play a second time. This time, the clip will provide a “Play Analysis” and outline the correct ruling and key concepts that apply.
We hope you will enjoy this educational tool, and it enhances your understanding of the rules.
To see more plays like this, log onto the “Members Area” on the IAABO website at https://www.iaabo.org and you will have access to the entire Video Playbook database.

Lead Initial Starting Position (Co2, Co3)
(IAABO Manual pgs. 32 and 152)
|
|
This is one of the more important concepts added to the IAABO manual for the 2021-22 season. Far too often, our Lead officials are not making effective decisions on where to be positioned along the endline in transition. This usually leaves the crew in less than optimum coverage at the beginning of a possession.
Many officials always start wide in the “A” position, leading to missed opportunities to rotate to the “ball side” when needed. Others like to set up in the “B” position, even if the ball is wide toward the sideline. This often leads to the Lead official having to turn away from the lane area to receive the ball into their PCA.
This concept applies to both a Crew of2 and Crew 3 and aligns with or “Wide Triangle” and “Boxing in” approach to court coverage.
To be effective, the Lead should take an initial starting position along the end line based on player and ball location.
1) When the ball is advancing near the Lead’s sideline, the Lead should be positioned wide at the “A” position.
2) When the ball is advancing in the middle of the court, the Lead should be positioned between the “A” and “B” positions.
3) When the ball is advancing on the opposite sideline, the Lead should “cut the corner” and move directly to the “B” position and be ready for possible rotation when the Trail enters the frontcourt.
Obviously if there are engaged competitive match-ups in your PCA that need to be addressed, it is acceptable to get an angle to view that match-up and ignore the ball location until that situation is resolved.
It is important for officials to understand how to select the proper initial starting position. Make this floor mechanic a priority in your games this season!

NBA Referee Tony brown returns to Work
in the Fight against Cancer
|
Texas News Today - Peter
Tony Brown is usually less excited to be assigned a shift as one of the referees working in the NBA’s replay center.
In other words, until now.
Long-standing NBAref, diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer earlier this year, will return to work on Monday for the first time in eight months. He was allowed to stay at the Replay Center for two nights after his family, doctors, and league agreed that his treatment was well advanced and could initiate a comeback.
“I didn’t have time to sit down and be like’Why am I’, or” what am I going to do? “Brown said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I felt like I was disappointed if I wasn’t fighting. What would be the example for children if I lay down on this bed and overtook them? With a positive mindset, I had to show that there is nothing in life that I can challenge and overcome. “ Click here to read more.

Youth Sport Officials aren't taking it anymore
|
Petula Dvorak, The Royal Gazette
They've been sucker-punched, stalked and threatened. On weekends, mobs of adults shriek and bellow at them, questioning their eyesight, intelligence and humanity.
One veteran described "a cauldron of yelling and hysteria". For all the abuse, referees working DC-area youth sports net about $50 a game, job listings show. No wonder they're fleeing. Click here to read more.

By Eric Stull, Published On: 2021-12-08
Youth sports referees and umpires are quitting at an alarming rate post-pandemic. Pre-pandemic conditions were not exactly a paradise with hostile parents, coaches, and even the youth themselves cursing, threatening, and yelling at the referees. Post-pandemic, the conditions have decayed to a point where most referees believe that it’s just not worth it anymore. Click here to read the remainder of the article

IAABO Good Citizen
Sharvez Brown IAABO Board #33
|
|
As the sun radiates and covers us with warmth every day, Sharvez Brown IAABO Board #33 member, does exactly that for so many that need help. Sharvez has made many excellent calls on both the high school and college courts representing both IAABO and the NCAA in his decade long career. But perhaps his best call was “whistled” recently. Because of his incredible giving heart, he has created a program that he has named, “Good Call.” The “Good Call” program has given hundreds of winter coats to those very needy individuals that are in desperate need of warm winter clothing. He has solicited those coats from referees that he works with and many other individuals.
How did I learn of this kindness, as Sharvez is quite humble? I was traveling to Bard College on December 4, 2021 to work a game with Sharvez. During that 2-hour drive for my game, as I often do, I listen to an audio book on my phone. On that day the book I was listening to was written by Oprah Winfrey. The book was titled, “What I Know For Sure.” How ironic, huh? As we sat pregame, I talked about the book and Oprah stating that with all of her wealth, her greatest gift was the ability to “Keep the giving going.” Sharvez humbly told me of his “Good Call” program. Dan Dillon (who would work with us that game) and I were so very proud of what Sharvez had created. Refs giving back to the community during a time of great need.
In my own life, as many of us have had happen, I had a very challenging time that continues in my life to this day. The incredible basketball community, led by loyal refs like Sharvez Brown, who I had meet at an officials camp a decade earlier, was ALWAYS there to support me, like so many other basketball refs at all level of our great game. The strength, loyalty, caring and kindness of the “referee world” is indelibly etched on my heart and soul by wonderful refs like Sharvez Brown. Sharvez is truly a “Good Citizen.” Thoughts of what Sharvez does “warms me like the Sun.”
Sincerely,
Dr. Edward C. Meier
