PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION BELOW

Ladies and Gentlemen

The NJSIAA, in an effort to streamline the assignment of officials for the State Basketball Tournament, has established a regional assignor system.  This very same model worked effectively in other sports and this past season was utilized throughout the entire 2019 State Tournament.  NJSIAA assignor Rob Riley along with fellow regional assignors Jack Baum (North 1&2), Jeff Cohen (Central & South) and Greg Bailey (Non-Public North and South) were responsible for all assignments and communicated with each other daily pertaining to assignments.  All regular season conference assignors were contacted by the regional assignors for a preferred list of officials of which most complied.  The NJSIAA also provided lists received from observers throughout the state. These lists were utilized for assignments as well for the tournament.   The NJSIAA Girls and Boys Tournament Directors ,Kim DeGraw-Cole and Al Stumpf held the annual post tournament meeting in April along with all the State Tournament Assignors.  The Staff was very pleased with the new format and the assignors received positive feedback pertaining to the assignments.  There were some new ideas discussed moving forward and the assignors and NJSIAA will continue to communicate to improve the tournament for the student athletes.  At this time an opportunity has already surfaced that we as assignors feel would be a WIN-WIN for both the assignors, certified officials and the NJSIAA State Basketball Tournament.  We were asked by the NJSIAA to identify the officials who meet the criteria and are worthy of State Tournament assignments and have come up with an additional way to do so.  Although we do value and appreciate all the lists we do receive that guide us to some assignments, they could be objective which is leading to this new direction which has not be done previously.  This will be an opportunity for officials to be OBSERVED by the Staff chosen by the NJSIAA as assignors for the State Tournament.  We are very excited about this format and looking forward to meeting the many dedicated officials that represent their respective Boards in the State of New Jersey.  Our goal is to provide the student athletes with our very best officials and match the game with the officials best suited for them.  This is an opportunity to simply be seen on the court which is always what most officials want.  We are also asked to honor and reward our dedicated veteran officials and bring aboard new officials which there were well over 50 officials working the tournament for their first time this past tournament.  Every Board will get a copy and asked to send to ALL the officials throughout the State.  Our Staff is looking forward to taking their time assisting in any way to make this a positive experience for everyone.  Your dedication is greatly appreciated.
