WICHITA, Kan. – Justin Seuser has been named the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) Men’s Basketball Coordinator of Officials, the conference office announced Friday.
“I’m excited for the opportunity to be selected as the next Men’s Basketball Coordinator of Officials for the KCAC,” Seuser remarked. “I’m looking forward to partnering with Dr. Crawford, the member institutions, and the Men’s Basketball Coaches and Players of the KCAC.
“The state of officiating in the Midwest is in a great place because of the conference leadership and the coordinators that have served in this position prior to me,” Seuser continued. “Taking on this new role in my officiating journey is very humbling but I’m looking forward to the challenge. The biggest challenge we face in the officiating community is continuing to identify and develop the next group of officials to referee Men’s College Basketball. With the combination of getting to work with some of the best officials in the Midwest, and my passion for officiating, we will continue to raise the bar on officiating in the KCAC.”
Before retiring from officiating, Seuser worked for 14 years as a collegiate men’s basketball official, working in the KCAC, KJCCC, MIAA, OCAC, SAC, and GAC. He has officiated multiple KCAC and KJCCC conference championship games, the NAIA First and Second Rounds at regional sites, the NAIA National Tournament, and multiple NJCAA national tournaments, including two NJCAA national championship games.
“I knew early on in this process with our search committee that Justin would be a strong fit for the KCAC in taking on this important role. He has been a tremendous official, a true professional in how he conducts himself, and a great communicator with coaches in his tenure as an official. I look forward to working with Justin and supporting him as our coordinator in the coming years as he develops our staff officials,” stated Dr. Scott Crawford, KCAC Commissioner.
Seuser will begin in this position immediately.
