What Is The IAABO?
 The International Association of Approved Basketball Officials (IAABO) is a non-profit and professional organization
managed by and for basketball officials whose primary purpose is to promote, maintain, and ensure the welfare of the
game of basketball. Through strict development of standards, curricula, a continuous instruction, IAABO trains and
educates new and experienced officials who are duly charged with representing the spirit of fair play, integrity,
and sportsmanship. By promoting the principle of teachable moments, IAABO is dedicated to assisting schools and
organizations in achieving their educational goals and furthering the ideals of basketball.
How Do I Join?
Two examinations are required of all applicants who must be 18 years of age. The written rules test is given each November.
Successful passing of the written exam makes a candidate eligible for the practical floor test, which must be passed during the same season.
Prior to the annual examination, our Board Interpreter will conduct special classes for the
candidates, which are a critical part to preparing for the exams.
