CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

An official is prohibited from working in an athletic contest in which a member of his/her immediate family- son, daughter, brother, sister, mother, father, husband, or wife - is playing or is serving as a coach for either team. If an official is a teacher, the official is prohibited from working in an athletic contest if one of the teams represents the school in which the official is employed as a teacher unless otherwise approved by the Executive Director. All varsity assignments must be assigned by a recognized and approved TSSAA Local Association.  Also, per MTSOA guidelines if you coach, or have a student or spouse in the same district you should remove yourself from the game to prevent a perception of conflict.
