Belizean Basketball Officials Achieve FIBA Certification

The Belize Association of Basketball Officials (BABO) has announced that several of its members have successfully achieved or renewed their international certification as basketball desk officials under the International Basketball Federation (FIBA). In recent times, BABO has been experienced some executive challenges with the resignation of their president. Acting President Bernard Q. A Pitts Jr. spoke to Love news about the major accomplishment for Belizeans to be able to tabulate for games at an international level. 

As the effort to have gender equality in sports continues, the cohort of recipients only saw the involvement of one woman from San Ignacio. Demi Awe spoke to Love News about the need for inclusion of women in a male dominated sport. 

Among those recognized were David Lacey, Luigi Zaldivar, Jamal Escalera, Jevon Robateau, Ryan Cadle, Trenton Marin, Denroy Tillett, Jose Rosado, Illinois Williams and Jovan Pate.
