East Coast Basketball Officials Association

The ECBOA is dedicated to providing quality officiating for high school basketball games in Palm Beach County and throughout the State of Florida in such a way that enforces the rules in a fair and impartial manner while upholding the integrity of the game.
Here is an update on ECBOA happenings and events:
• Please join me in congratulating Lee Lipsick who has been appointed ECBOA Secretary for the 2022-2023 season. Lee has been a member of ECBOA for 6 years and has served on our Training and Grievance committees.
• Minutes of our Board meetings are posted on our website ECBOA.org under the "Governance" tab
• You may have heard that the FHSAA voted to implement an optional 35-second shot clock for varsity boys and girls games beginning this coming season. The original proposal was to make it required for the 2024-2025 season; however, cost and trained table personnel issues were raised which resulted in this being optional. The Palm Beach County School District has advised that there are no current plans to implement a shot clock until the FHSAA makes it a requirement.
• We are revising our meeting format and requirements for the coming season. There will be two (2) General meetings, of which members must attend at least one (1) of these. In addition, there will be four (4) Training meetings, of which members must attend at least two (2) of these. The penalty for not attending one (1) General meeting and two (2) Training meetings (for a total of 3) shall be no regular season schedule until January 1st and be ineligible for the State Series list. The goal for this format change is to reduce the number of meetings members are required to attend, while making them more informative and substantive.
• Board Liaison’s for our various committees for the coming season are:
- Training Committee – Anthony Mancino
- Recommendation Committee – Mike Smith
- Grievance Committee – Dorian Hawkins
- Assignment Committee – Al Alfierri (supported by Jaylen)
- Evaluation Committee – Joe Erwin (supported by Jose and Francois)
• We are identifying summer camps, travel tournaments, and rec leagues for evaluation and training opportunities again this summer. Be on the lookout for ECBOA evaluation and training announcements.
