Donnee L. Gray

To Officials:

I want to thank each of you for making the 2002 season such a success.

MACBOA has strived to provide timely paychecks to staff. All staff should be paid by now. If you have questions regarding your paycheck, please give us a call ASAP (301.283.6807).

If you "earned" a rating of 3.0 or below you should think about attending a Referee Camp/School.

If you did not honor your contract by...
1) not checking the macboa.org website periodically
2) not turning in required tests (staff that did not submit online tests, if renewed, will expect to lose one game for every test not submitted next season)
3) being late for more than 2 assignments
4) not turning in "all required" paperwork to MACBOA office
5) being less than truthful about assignments for MACBOA,

then "my friends" you may not receive a contract or will be put on "probationary status"!!!!!

During the pre-season MACBOA Clinic, an announcement was made that as many as 10 % of the current staff would not be retained for the 2002-2003 season. MACBOA will use the same criteria in the selection process for post- season assignments to retain officials for next season. My mandate is to develop and maintain a high-level functioning staff committed to the Mid-Atlantic College Basketball Officials Association (MACBOA).

Please take your ratings to heart. I also want you to know that together with Tommie Scott, Head of Observers, we will re-evaluate Observer Game Report categories and criteria to better reflect accurate game observations.

Call the MACBOA Office at 301-283-6807 for the cost for current staff members wishing to attend the Timeout Referee School. Please visit http://www.macboa.org/training/training.html. MACBOA has uploaded the Time Out Referee School application form (PDF). Completed applications forms may be mailed to Time Out Referee School, Post Office Box 98, Bryans Road, MD 20616.

Reward, challenge, appreciation, stimulation, writing, reading...rarely thanked or noticed.

These are some of the attributes of the well hidden job of MACBOA Newsletter Volunteer. Are you interested in working behind the scenes (screens?) to help get information to members? MACBOA is looking to grow our ranks by a couple of folks and thus, we're soliciting volunteers.

What do you do? Read postings. Write articles, membership news, coordinate interviews, cultivate sponsor relations, etc. Write e-mail back and forth amongst us to establish communication, and guidance to keep this list as valuable as possible for our membership. Although we're virtual, our presence is sensed, we hope...and appreciated, although rarely acclaimed.

We haven't a job description, nor do we know what knowledge, skills, and abilities are required, but some that will come in handy are:

  • having the ability to write
  • being thick skinned, not thick headed
  • being able to express your opinions, while being open minded
  • having at least a free hour or two a week caring for the membership

Please respond directly by e-mail to: irelacion@aol.com
