3 nouveaux officiels feront partie du groupe des 124 qui vont arbitrer la saison 2016. Il s’agit de ALAN ECK (SJ-Big 12), RAMON GEORGE (U-Conference USA) et JEROD PHILLIPS (HL-Big 12).
Tous les 17 arbitres en chef (U) de 2015 seront de retour pour la prochaine saison, incluant le doyen Walt Coleman qui sera à sa 28e saison. Il y a 5 officiels qui ne sont pas attribués à une équipe et qui feront partie de « l’équipe volante ». À noter qu’il y a 3 paires « père-fils » dans cet alignement: Coleman et son fils, WALT COLEMAN IV; ED HOCHULI et son fils, SHAWN HOCHULI; et STEVE FREEMAN et son fils, BRAD FREEMAN.
Voici une image expliquant le positionnement des officiels ainsi que la légende des positions (R-U-HL-LJ-FJ-SJ-BJ). Et pour terminer, vous aurez la liste de tous les officiels de la saison 2016.
N.B. les membres de chacune des équipes peuvent changer au courant de la saison et les membres de l’équipe volante pourraient travailler avec différentes équipes.
