NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA DISTRICT BOARD

 

Very successful season. Thirty-three members are included in our roster,
five of whom are new this year. Every game of importance, with the exception
of two, were handled by members of our Board.

Four business and interpretation meetings were held. The first meeting held
was a joint one between all the coaches and oteniets in this district, at which
time rule interpretations were discussed.

We passed a resolution that members absent from any meeting be sent any new
interpretations or suggestions agreed upon at the meeting.

At our first meeting the coming year we plan to hold a basketbail clinic to
which the coaches will be invited.

At the beginning of each year, we have our secretary mail all high school
and college coaches in this district a list of approved officials and instruc-
tions to scorers and timers.

During the past year our Board furnished four officials for the City
leagues, and eight for state sectional tournaments.

The depression took its toll at the gate. Crowds were small. Often there
was not enough money to pay the official. In order to meet the schools half
way, the Board passed a resolution that fees be reduced to $7.50, flat, in the
case of high schools with an enrollment of less than 250.

SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA BOARD

 

The Board held its annual rules interpretation meeting. Coaches, Athletic
Directors and Officials of West Virginia, numbering over one hundred fifty (150)
attended this meeting and it was a very decided success.

The meeting ended with a large banquet, to which everyone was invited, free
of charge, as guests of the Sport Mart, the leading sporting goods dealer of
West Virginia.

All of the principal games of basketball in southern West Virginia were of-
ficiated by members of the Board and five of our members officiated in Sectional
Tournaments.
