East Coast Basketball Officials Association
Presidents Update
December 2021
Here is an update on ECBOA happenings and events:
- The season is now in full swing with lots of games scheduled for December. Asking everyone to double check the location and time of their assigned games, as JV and Varsity game times vary by school.
- If you have an incident with a player, coach, fan, etc. that requires removal/disqualification, be sure to notify Mark, Yetta, and myself. Further, an AT-6 report is required, and we need to see a draft before it gets submitted to the FHSAA. We’ve already had ejections for unsporting and flagrant fouls, and it is critical that we provide as much detail as possible.
- Asking everyone to check the attendance record on our website (ECBOA.org) to make sure you’ve received credit for the meetings you attended. In order to be considered for the playoff list you must have attended 4 General meetings.
- The Recommendation committee (led by Vince Holmes –Board liaison and Jarvis Gulley – committee chair) will be meeting this month to put the playoff list together. Once finalized it will be put to the membership for a vote.
- Yetta still needs volunteers for Special Olympics games scheduled for Saturday December 4th. They start at 9:00 am and run until 2:00. Please contact Yetta if you can assist. Her office is (561) 963-3872 and her cell is (561) 762-3798.
- Reminder that the Arbiter pay dates for School District games are scheduled for December 3rd, 17th, and 21st, January 7th and 21st, and February 4th, 11th, and 18th. The cutoff date is 7 days prior to the pay date.
- Be sure to update your availability in Arbiter, as this helps Mark with game assignments.
- Asking crew chiefs to review and discuss traveling during your pre-games. Getting lots of questions from coaches and players regarding the euro step, step back move, spin move, and jump stops. They are looking for us to be consistent with these calls.
Thanks,
Joe Erwin
President
