2009 Fall Clinic

The ABOA Fall Clinic for All Officials on September 11-13 was a roaring success. Over 100 officials from across the province listened to some excellent presentations by Tommy Nunez, WarrenPoncsak, Jim Cervo, Jake Steinbrenner, Matt Kallio, Morgan Munroe, Bill Carr and Dick Vanderstam. Former NBA Supervisor of Officials Ronnie Nunn stopped in to see his old friend Tommy and shared a few thoughts with the gourp. In addition, Canda West Supervisor of Officials Bill Crowley conducted a clinic for CIS officials on Sunday afternoon. All officials were welcome at this portion and several non-CIS people stayed for Bill's presentation.
