Amy Bonner - IAABO Zoom Guest Speaker Becomes
the First Female Basketball Official to Officiate an
Atlantic 10 Basketball Game
|
|
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Amy Bonner, a veteran basketball official, became the first woman in to officiate a men’s basketball game in Atlantic 10 history Tuesday night. Bonner is part of the crew working the Dayton-Eastern Illinois non-conference game.
“Amy is a skilled official. I have encouraged Bryan Kersey, our men’s basketball assignor, to invite strong women officials on to our roster, as space becomes available. Thus it’s great to have Amy working in the A-10 setting a great example for other women -- officiating basketball is officiating basketball regardless of gender!” stated Bernadette V. McGlade, Commissioner.
Bonner has a long career as an official in the WNBA, the NBA’s G-League, NCAA women’s basketball and in international competition as a FIBA official. She has previous experience officiating NCAA men’s basketball games this year in the Big 12 Conference.

Bryan Kersey was inspired by his father, Jess Kersey, an NBA referee.

Story by Phyllis Speidell and Photos by John H. Sheally II
Basketball fans watching a game generally focus on the ball, the players and the coaches rather than the referees.
That, Bryan Kersey says, is the way it should be. Kersey, a Carrollton resident, was regarded as one of the best referees during his 30 years as a Division I basketball official. In March 2016, he moved up to supervisor of men’s basketball officials for the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
The referees, Kersey said, are there to facilitate the game and to assure it plays out fairly, by the rules, while they remain low profile.
“We already have ugly shirts on,” he joked. “We don’t want to stand out any more.”

This isn't Whistling Dixie
|
Some get too old to keep up with the speed of the game. Some can’t make the time worth their while. Some have too many schedule conflicts. Some get tired of being treated unfairly by fans. Some simply lose interest. For all these reasons and more, the number of high school sports officials continues to decline in north central Idaho

College Officiating Puzzle Now More Complex
|
|
Joe Vaszily, IAABO Board 801 (CBOA/WCBOO) is looking forward to starting his 21st season this week despite the higher level of anxiety because of the virus.

By Doug Feinberg
The Associated Press
Debbie Williamson is used to the challenges of putting together the officiating puzzle.
Whether it’s assigning officials to specific games or figuring out how a referee can make it from one city to the next to call games on consecutive days, Williamson has seen a lot — both at the conference level and as the former NCAA’s women’s basketball national coordinator of officiating.

Officially Human; Behind the Stripes LLC (OH) was founded by Brenda Hilton as a grassroots effort to "humanize" sport officials in all sports at all levels. Brenda has spent close to 20 years working with sport officials and coordinators at the DI level and grown to appreciate them for all they do for our youth and young adults. OH is currently working with 12 high school associations (with more on the horizon) across the country to survey officials at that level, gathering information to take back constituents and participating states in hopes of building a nationwide campaign. To date, 16,000+ officials have shared thoughts and ideas on how to address the issue.
OH currently has sportsmanship banners available for purchase to be displayed at venues; they can be customized with the venue logo.
