NCBOA History

The organization known today as the North County Basketball Officials Association (NCBOA) was first formed in 1960-61, as "Board No. 173" of the Interanational Association of Approved Basketball Officials (IAABO). Also known as the "Tri-County District Board", our territory included Orange, Riverside and San Diego counties. Our first President under IAABO was Sargent D. Smith Vice President was Jack Gabrels Rules Interpreter: Irving H. Smith Secretary/Treasurer: John Oakley There were 19 original members

Special Thanks to Donnie Eppley of IAABO, Inc. for helping with this history!

In March of 1963 our organization withdrew from IAABO and became the "Tri-County Association" - a "local affiliate Unit" of the Southern California Basketball Officials Association (S.C.B.O.A.) Our first President under S.C.B.O.A. was Pat Breen

In September 1983, the Tri-County Basketball Officials Association changed its name to the North County Basketball Officials Association (NCBOA). Our first Regional Official was Frank Wilhelm - 1983 Our first State Final Officials were Bob Latiano & Ken Perez - 1985 Finally, in 1987 our "parent" organization, the S.C.B.O.A. went "statewide", becoming the California Basketball Officials Association as we know it today.

Today, NCBOA provides the finest High School basketball officials in the state of California!  All NCBOA officials are State Certified by the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) to officiate High School regular season and post-season contests.
