The Officiating Shortage: Examining The Administrator’S Role In Addressing Basketball Contest Climates In The State Of Missouri, Christopher Brian White

Student Theses and Dissertations

As early as 1999, state athletic organizations began to report concerns about possible officiating shortages for high school sports. According to the literature, this concern has grown over the past 20 years. Much of the empirical data was missing on this phenomenon until NASO (National Association of Sports Officials) published comprehensive survey results in 2017 from 17,486 officials across the nation. It confirmed that officials were a graying population that considered the decline of contest climates at sporting events as a major contributor to officials deciding to quit. Due to this insight, this study aimed to examine the role most …

Black Drowning Deaths: An Introductory Analysis, Alena Gadberry, James Gadberry

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

Black children between the ages of 5 and 14 are 2.6 times more likely to drown than white children. A systematic exclusion from public pools and other forms of water activities over time has led to a lack of cultural capital involving aquatics among black families. Pierre Bourdieu has provided a theoretical foundation in which to understand this issue. The social fields created by generational socialization have made blacks feel like they have no place in the water. It will take a restructuring of the social institutions to set in motion the socialization (or a re-socialization) of new and more …
