Mike Kearns has been the Assignor for the Foothill Citrus
Basketball Officials Association for 20 years. He has not only
officiated basketball, but also has experience in football and
baseball. Mike umpired Division 1 NCAA Softball for quite some time
as well. During his college years, he ran Track for the University
of Kansas and also played football for Cal Poly Pomona. We will
talk about the perception of officiating and the difficult tasks
involved in the assigning process. Additionally, Mike will share a
special story about my first playoff assignment as an official in
any sport.
