DIII Men’s Basketball Officiating National Coordinator Jim Haney joins Hoopsville’s Dave McHugh to talk all things officiating, with Haney stating of his seven-year tenure in the role: “We're never going to get to where you and I want it, but to say that we haven't had success would be wrong, because we have been successful,” pointing to officiating, communication with coaches and accountability all in a better position. “The overall consistency and accountability is getting better. The willingness to look at film and critique their own games is getting better. I am setting up a national website, with the help of the coaches, of getting plays from all over the country. […] The coaches are a big part of this. They're helping me out by sending me plays. That's why I keep saying the transparency between the NCAA and the NABC, there used to be no dialogue. Now we're one unit, just pulling the rope and trying to make it better for everybody.” On the officiating shortage, Haney notes it hasn’t hit MBB yet, but the pipeline of officials is thinning. He also coordinates high school officials and is down 175 from three years ago. More.

Mammoth Sports Consulting Asst. VP/former Grand Valley State (DII) AD Tim Selgo sits down with BOSCA Founder Jim Abbott to discuss issues encountered in his current role, professional development and more. As you could imagine, the biggest facet of his consulting work is enrollment retention and strategic planning as institutions are dealing with difficult financial challenges. “What I'm also seeing is athletics departments throughout America are the ones that are helping keep enrollments at a level that colleges can stay open. Presidents turn to athletics to recruit more student-athletes. So we're seeing roster sizes grow perhaps beyond what is reasonably acceptable to have a good student-athlete experience. Selgo goes on to state the best reason for individuals to get involved in national organizations and committees is professional development, stating: “You're in a room full of leaders and you're watching how leaders operate in meetings, what they say, how they respond, who's who's willing to speak up, who isn’t. […] I got confidence, coming back to my own campus, and speaking up in meetings on our campus from my experience on NCAA and NACDA committees because I learned that if I'm going to be in this meeting and I've got some thoughts, I'm gonna share. Maybe they decide not to do what I want to do or go in a different direction, that's fine, but I want them to know my perspective. I think your perspective gets better when you have a chance to get outside your bubble on your campus and you get out and visit with other people, learn from other people, and hear what they're doing. To me that was critical professional development for me.” (link)
