The SABOA's mission includes upholding, encouraging and promoting
high ethical standards amongst institutions, spectators,
participants, coaches and officials involved in the game of
basketball. The SABOA web site (www.saboaonline.com) was established
in 2008 to improve communications between itself, its member
officials, participating schools, suppliers and the community. If

Compression Sleeve Rule Change 2011-2012
3-5-3 New The specifications regarding arm compression sleeves were changed to require the item to be white, black, beige or a single solid school color, be the same color for each team member and have only a single manufacturer’s logo that does not exceed 2 ¼ square inches. Arm compression sleeves must still be worn for medical purposes. Rationale: Under the previous rule, arm compression sleeves had no logo restrictions, could have been multiple colors and teammates could have worn different colors. This rules change provides clarification and makes enforcement more consistent for officials.
