The Wright State University men’s basketball team was exposed to game officials who have tested positive for the coronavirus, the Horizon League announced Thursday night.

The Horizon League, in conjunction with the Collegiate Officiating Consortium, notified the public of the two officials from the Consortium.

One or both of these persons officiated in the Monday, March 9, Wright State vs. University of Illinois-Chicago league semifinal at Indiana Farmers Coliseum in Indianapolis.

Those same officials also worked these games:

  • Saturday, March 7: Maine at Vermont at Patrick Gym (Burlington, VT) – America East Tournament quarterfinal
  • Tuesday, March 10: Manhattan vs. Fairfield at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall (Atlantic City, NJ) – Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament 1st round

  • Wednesday, March 11: Manhattan vs. Siena at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall (Atlantic City, NJ) – Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament quarterfinal

    • Horizon League staff members have directly communicated with league members, related game personnel, related volunteers and the Indiana Farmers Coliseum.

    We continue to adhere to the guidance issued by the CDC and federal and state governments in these unprecedented times and we encourage our fans to do the same.

    The Collegiate Officiating Consortium represents Division I institutions from the America East Conference, Big Ten Conference, Horizon League, Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC), Mid-American Conference (MAC) and The Summit League, providing oversight of men’s basketball officiating operations for 65 Division I institutions in 22 states.
