According to a press release from the GLIAC, Rob Doss has been hired as the supervisor of officials for women's basketball while Bill Ek has been named to the same position for the men's basketball side.
The appointments are effective immediately.
“We are extremely pleased with the addition of both Bill and Rob to our staff,” GLIAC Commissioner Dell Robinson. “They have the knowledge, experience, and networks that will take our basketball officiating program to the next level.”
What impact this will have is difficult to tell. Typically, anything that occurs with officials is done behind closed doors.
So, the impact remains to be seen. Officials in the GLIAC have been criticized at times for some inconsistency issues (cheap hand checks on the perimeter while guys are banging and battling like gladiators in the paint). Officials at all levels hear some criticisms like the aforementioned.
On the men's side, there has been some criticism of games being a little too physical at times, but you hate to see games controlled too much by the refs. Most of us want to see players play.
