Quick Talks — With: Roger LaFrancois

NCAA March Mad­ness is back. And the past few years we’ve been see­ing some wor­ry­ing adver­tise­ments. There’s a nation­al short­age of ref­er­ees for the game. This week I sat down with IAABO Board 8 Pres­i­dent and Assign­ment Com­mis­sion­er, Roger LaFran­cois, to talk about how this short­age is affect­ing his board, and about some of the caus­es of it.
