Taped on the wall next to a white board in the Clippers’ locker room are three pieces of paper containing a short biography about each of the officials working Monday night’s game against the Toronto Raptors. On Veterans Day, the center sheet was about Matt Boland, a veteran of 17 NBA seasons.
Toward the end of the profile, after fun facts such as his favorite TV show (“Seinfeld”), app (Dark Sky) and bucket list item (golf at Augusta National) came this:“Boland served in the Connecticut National Guard from 1987-95. He was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in 1990 before being promoted to 1st Lieutenant in 1991.”Yes, Boland is, indeed, a veteran NBA official. Click here to read more. |

You have likely heard the saying, “a goal without a plan is just a wish,” and this age-old adage rings so true for all people pursuing all types of endeavors.

And for basketball officials embarking on the 2017-2018 season absent a basic strategy on how to achieve a stated desire -- a better schedule; advancement to the next level -- you are in a rudderless boat on an open sea hoping the winds of fate blow you to your destination.
Seeking officiating success described in this manner seems laughable, but yet many officials take this approach with their beloved avocation.
But Ref, don’t panic now...Help is on the way in the form of the new, and first of its kind, GameTracker Journal.
This latest publication from long time IAABO members Billy Martin, Tim Malloy and Al Battista, the creators of Ref60.com, is an innovative tool that provides a template for every basketball official, at every level, to create your own realistic roadmap helping to guide you to your desired destination - one game at a time.
