Welcome to the IAABO Board 130 web site.

Board 130 was granted its charter from the International Association of Approved Basketball Officials on Nov. 15, 1951. Board 130 consists of more than 400 members who officiate basketball games from the grammar school to college level. We have active Membership and Development committees who work to ensure that our newer members be given every opportunity to improve their skills and advance their officiating careers.

We hope you find this web site informative and helpful. For more information about Board 130, contact us at daniel.bryant@comcast.net

2013 Special Olympics

This past weekend, March 9th & 10th, IAABO Board #130 officials refereed the Special Olympics State basketball tournament at Assumption College.  There were 26 games each day, and all 52 games were officiated by 2 Board #130 referees.

10 first year officials met their requirement of participating in the event.  They were joined by 15 veterans who volunteered to referee.  Interestingly, every one of the veterans that worked the games this year had also worked them in past years.  Most had worked them last year and obviously found it to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.  Enough so that they were happy to do it again.

Also, special commendation needs to go to Pete Dion and Mark Barson who not only came out to give additional training and evaluations for the new members, but also stepped up and refereed several games.  This would not have gone off so well without them.

BOARD 130 Mourns the loss
of our Brother Official

Jim Geanoulis


 W00132040-image-1.jpg

James N, Geanoulis, 65, a lifetime North Shore resident and educator in the Peabody School System, passed away on May 19th, 2012 after a valiant battle with cancer.

Jim leaves behind Bonnie Souther, the long time love of his life and her two daughters, Ashley and Mc Kenzie. He also leaves his brother Alec Geanoulis and his family of Amesbury. Jim had so much love and pride for his two sons. Christopher “Tiffer” Geanoulis of Danvers and Jonathan Geanoulis of Gloucester and their families. In addition, he leaves behind many cousins, nieces and nephews and his aunt and uncle who will forever miss him dearly.

Jim was raised in Peabody and had been a beloved teacher in the Peabody School System for 35 years. He also coached Baseball, Basketball and Soccer teams and had been a confidant and mentor for many of his students.

For many years, including his recent retirement, Jim enjoyed umpiring baseball games and served as a referee for soccer and basketball as well. He loved working with youth, which, according to Jim, kept him going.

Jim received his degree from Westfield State College and then went on to earn his master’s degree from Salem State University. He was known for his big generous heart and for his enjoyment of life and especially for the youth.

There were many people whom he helped during his lifetime and he did it all quietly and discreetly because it came from his heart. It was recenty announced that The annual Memorial Day Baseball Tourney had now been named the Jim Geanoulis Memorial Tourney, in honor of his many dedicated years in helping young people play sports.

He is predeceased by his parents, Nicholas and Clara (Petropoulos) Geanoulis formerly of Peabody and his spirit will now be eternally with theirs. Jim’s spirit will also always be with every one of us who knew and loved him.

A Visitation will be held on Tuesday, May 20, 2012 from 4:00 until 8:00 PM at the Conway, Cahill-Brodeur Funeral Home at the 82 Lynn St., Peabody Facility. Relatives, friends and students are kindly invited. A Private Family Service and internment will be held at a later date. Expressions of sympathy may be made to the James Geanoulis Memorial Scholarship Fund, c/o North Shore Bank, 248 Andover St., Peabody, MA 01960 in his memory
