State Championship Wrap-UpOur crews were well prepared and did an excellent job in two very competitive games. They are to be commended for their outstanding performances as they represented the TBOA in a true professional manner.
4A Men’s State Championship, Chapel Hill R: Sherman Combs U1: Gerald Moyd U2: Jim Wuwert Olympic’s 56-53 win over Raleigh Broughton was the Trojans’ first state title in basketball. Olympic also became the first Mecklenburg County 4A team to go unbeaten since West Charlotte beat Broughton in the 1986 state championship game.
3A Women’s State Championship, Raleigh R: Al Henderson U1: Burton Matherly U2: Benita BowmanHarding’s girls beat Chapel Hill 56-52. The Rams were only the second Mecklenburg County public school team to reach back-to-back NCHSAA state finals. Harding, which won the 2012 state title, became the first Mecklenburg County public school team to repeat as state champion. Harding ended its season at 24-4, on a 19-game win streak.
TBOA Summer Clinics I am pleased to announce that the TBOA has expanded its summer clinic series to include two In-Service/Identification Clinics this year. The teaching clinics will be held at Page High School and UNC-Greensboro in conjunction with their team camps. William Covington, Sr. will once again be the Clinic Director and as such, all inquiries should be sent to him at [email protected]. William has a wealth of officiating knowledge and experience, either working or having worked in the following conference: Big South, Southern, Colonial, Sun Belt, South Atlantic, MEAC and CIAA. He also heads up our TBOA Observation Program. The purpose of the clinic is to teach fundamental skills for all levels of officiating for high school basketball, including TBOA philosophies and nuances. There will be a game review and evaluation, classroom lectures, and guest speakers. Current high school officials, recreation officials, and those aspiring the opportunity to move up are welcome and encouraged to attend. You will receive on-court observations from a mix of veteran high school and college officials along with instant feedback. There are many reasons to attend one of these clinics, but I’ll let you be the judge of whether you should attend or not. Attendance at one of the TBOA Officiating Clinics is not mandatory for our current staff members. However, if you aspire to improve your schedule, work higher level games and/or advance deeper into the conference tournaments or move up to the varsity level, this could be a great place to start! If you are already meeting your personal objectives, that’s wonderful! If not, these clinics will provide you with an excellent opportunity to learn our philosophies on high school officiating as well as get to know each other on a higher, more personal level.The cost for the clinic is $90 per person. Registration opens April 1st and the firm deadline for all registrations is May 31st. A box lunch will be provided on Saturday and a TBOA t-shirt will be given to all registered officials. Please come prepared to learn! The Registration Form for the TBOA Officiating Clinic can be found on the website at www.triadbasketball.com under Training / TBOA Summer Officiating Clinics.

Commitment toOff-Season ConditioningA majority of our officials look fit and athletic on the court and this is what we want. Others need to shed a few pounds so that they can get in a good position and get their plays right. Please work hard during the offseason to get yourself in shape and lose those pounds that keep you from being an elite official. Several of you were notified in your evaluations about weight loss and appearance issues; however our observers did not see every single official work this year. Please be mindful that staff retention may be determined by your weight and appearance from last season and/or during the upcoming summer games. You have complete and total control over this issue. If you have any questions about your status, please contact me via email and we will discuss.

Offseason Arbiter MaintenanceI will be deleting all game records in Arbiter for the 2012-13 season on June 1st, 2013. If you want to keep a record of your schedule, please download a copy to your computer or other storage device. Once the game assignments are deleted, you will no longer have access to your 2012-13 assignments, so it is imperative that you download a copy of your records if that is important to you. To do this, log on to Arbiter and select Schedule/Reports and then select the export file format that you desire.
Also, if any of your contact information has changed, i.e. address, email, phone number, etc., please take a moment to update that information as well.
