Objective
|
Status |
| Ten regional clinics were completed. The following agenda items were covered: new rules, unsportsmanlike fouls, points of emphasis, CBOC techniques of officiating (IOT’s), calling today’s game, exam information and recruitment of female officials.
Area Supervisors were notified of expectations on the use of profanity and abusive language. Discussions were held regarding the Code of Conduct and Social Media.
All officials have been encouraged to register on Game Plan. The exam period was from November 30th to December 10th.
|
| The first introduction of the IOT’s was presented at our September panel meeting. Brent introduced the 9 modules and stated this will be the foundation of learning the basic fundamentals of officiating. This was an agenda item at the area clinics. Brent was involved in a regional conference call, in November, to discuss further implementation. CBOC is presently looking at their responsibility to move this initiative forward. The Executive wants to place more emphasis on this initiative. They have tasked Roger Caulfield and Brent Stocker to come up with an action plan to have the IOT’s delivered. This will be one of the objectives on next year’s Work Plan.
|
| Contract negotiations are ongoing and will be completed prior to next year. We currently have signed contracts/letters of agreement that expire at the end of this season. Note: Neil Hooper has resumed the role of ACAA Convenor. DAL AC only had their men’s team participating in the ACAA.
|
| The camp has been well publicized and announced on NSBO’s and CBOC’s websites. The camp operated at full capacity and was a huge success.
|
| Executive reviewed the draft MOU and recommended some changes. NSBO will be communicating with the new Executive Director, Katherine Brien, regarding alignment.
No further action is expected from BNS at this time due to time and work constraints.
|
| The Executive identified initiatives to promote this objective. Area Supervisors and Commissioners were notified at the Executive meeting of their responsibility to recruit, retain and advance female officials. This initiative was an agenda item at all area meetings. College Commissioners increased female officials’ assignments in 2018-19 for developmental purposes (based on national and provincial evaluations). This proved successful as Jennifer McKenzie was selected to the USports Championships and Nicole Weisner was selected to the U17 Summer Nationals. In addition, a number of female officials were selected to the provincial championships. Jennifer McKenzie received the Frank Baldwin Award and is one of the officials selected to attend evaluator training for NOCP Level I & II. Roger Caulfield worked female officials as evaluators at his camp.
|
| The plan was to identify the best communication vehicle to produce the desired results. Our objective is to ensure all officials are better informed of all developments/initiatives related to CBOC. We have made some progress in this area as more information is being shared with our Executive and officials. NSBO’s Work Plan, as well as information obtained through Game Plan are two ways to keep our officials updated on new and ongoing initiatives.
|
| Metro Area Supervisor, Greg Parsons coordinated this project and presented his findings at the June 23rd Executive meeting. All amendments and changes were approved by the Executive. Changes will be presented to the membership for approval at the September AGM.
|
| Paul Hanson investigated cost, availability, etc. of offering a Long Term Service Award Pin to our membership. The Executive has agreed to purchase a pin (gold and silver) for 10 and 20 years of service. Pins will be presented at our Fall meeting.
|
| Paul Hanson developed a google form to assist in the collection of contact information. All information was submitted to Martha Bradbury, National Secretary Treasurer for inclusion in the national database and exam preparation on Game Plan.
|
| This initiative has been an excellent vehicle to promote officials’ development. This year’s high performance officials’ list is comprised of 15 officials. Numerous officials identified through this initiative have advanced to the NSSAF Championships and Summer Nationals and eventually 3 officials received their Level III certification.
|
| NSBO provided CBOC with our game rates and membership fees (also included the fees going to Basketball Nova Scotia). We also provided information on insurance coverage. This information was being requested as we moved to a licensing system based on NOCP levels. Our finding is our rates are in line with other provinces across the country.
