Why MDOG?

Quality officiating requires more than filling assignments. It requires qualified officials, careful scheduling, responsive communication, professional standards, and dependable leadership.

MDOG is led by an experienced basketball assigner, commissioner, official, educator, and published officiating writer with extensive experience coordinating officials and working with athletic organizations.

Qualified Officials:

Officials are selected and assigned according to their experience, training, professionalism, and ability to manage the level of competition.

Reliable Scheduling:

MDOG uses established assignment and scheduling procedures to coordinate coverage, communicate changes, and address unexpected vacancies.

Professional Standards:

Officials are expected to meet MDOG requirements involving certification, insurance, appearance, communication, conduct, and game administration.

Responsive Communication:

Schools and organizations receive a clear point of contact for scheduling questions, game changes, coverage issues, and service needs.
