Policy for Recommendation of Officials by IGHSAU Member Schools

The head varsity coach of each school in the sports of basketball, soccer, softball, swimming, and volleyball is required to submit officials’ recommendations in the “Personnel Entry Forms” section of the IGHSAU website no later than 4:30 p.m. on the 30th day following completion of the state tournament in each respective sport. Five days following the end of the state tournament in each sport, a reminder email will be sent to the athletic director of those schools who have yet to submit the recommendations. After 25 days, a final reminder will be emailed to the athletic director, principal, and superintendent. Failure of the head coach to submit the recommendations by 4:30 p.m. on the 30th day following the completion of the state tournament will result in suspension of the head coach for the first two varsity playing dates of the season the following school year. If the coach leaves the school and is head coach at another Iowa school the next school year, the suspension will apply to the coach at the new school.
