LHSAA basketball officials have voted for an immediate work stoppage

That article is from a few days ago, when a refused raise raised the possibility of a work stoppage. According to a friend of mine who is a LHSAA official, officials in districts in Baton Rouge, Monroe, and Shreveport have already voted for the stoppage.
New Orleans and Thibodaux have yet to vote.
This has to do with a payraise the officials didn't get this year. Louisiana is currently 50th in how much they pay basketball officials.

Heard about this over the weekend. I wonder what is going to happen.

xiv, do you know when the stoppage would go into affect? Immediately?

Some guys will continue working, of course, but if the stoppage goes through, it looks like a lot of games will be canceled.

That would be a travesty for the kids.
They maybe could try to spread out the games throughout the week instead of just tuesday and fridays. Then the same refs could work every night during the week and make good money.

Yea I don't think it'll get serious enough for things to get cancelled.

If this goes into effect immediately, will this affect my middle school team? We use BR Lhsaa officials, though the Lhsaa has no sanctioning over middle school athletics
ETA, we have a game tomorrow night

Basketball officials are already horrible, that's all we need-replacement refs
Posted on 1/30/11 at 11:18 pm to BayouBengals03
eh, im not that confident
very good chance we'll see some cancellations
but the refs are right they deserve a raise

No. I don't think they get paid through the LHSAA. I think your league pays them.
I have a junior high team too, and I don't think we'll be affected.

funny thing is I think they got a raise a few years ago.
Posted on 1/30/11 at 11:19 pm to KBeezy
if yall use BR LHSAA refs yall should expect cancellations. They will use their man power toward 5A high school and go from there
Posted on 1/30/11 at 11:20 pm to BayouBengals03
yet they are last in the nation
Posted on 1/30/11 at 11:21 pm to msutiger
I don't think cancellations will happen. We'll see.
Posted on 1/30/11 at 11:21 pm to BayouBengals03
Yeah we actually pay our officials cash out of the door money
But they do wear their LHSAA patches to the game. I guess you are right though as that side money wouldn't have anything to do with their dispute with the LHSAA

And their performance is probably close to the worst in the nation.
Just saying.

What does it take to be a highschool basketball official? Can't they just temporary replacements?
