New England College Officiating is a professional basketball officiating service that officiates men's college basketball games in New England. Our team of experienced officials ensures that games are played fairly and that the rules are enforced consistently.
To be a good official, certain qualities are required, including a thorough knowledge of the rules, quick decision-making, and the ability to remain calm and composed under pressure. Officials must also be physically fit and able to keep up with the pace of the game. Good communication skills are also essential for an official to effectively communicate with coaches, players, and other officials on the court.
At New England College Officiating, our officials are trained and evaluated on these qualities, ensuring that they provide the highest level of professionalism and expertise on and off the court. Their commitment to excellence has made them a trusted partner for colleges and universities in New England who rely on them to provide fair and consistent officiating for their basketball games.
