IAABO officials have the honor to share the court with the fine young men and women basketball players of our high schools. We continually find them hardworking, dedicated student athletes and admire their sportsmanship. We also have the privilege of working in front of the great coaches of St. Louis area schools.  Each year, IAABO Board 173 recognizes excellence within the populations of athletes and coaches for whom we officiate. These Athlete and Coach of the Year Awards are awarded to outstanding boys, girls, and coaches who demonstrate the commitment to excellence, both on and off the court, that basketball can inspire.
