The Manitoba Association of Basketball Officials (MABO), in partnership with Basketball Manitoba, has announced the formal recognition of two long-time leaders in the basketball officiating community — Glenn Matsumoto and Cam Moskal — for their outstanding service and lifetime contributions to the sport.
Glenn Matsumoto: Four Decades of Leadership
With a career spanning from 1980 to 2022, Glenn Matsumoto has been a cornerstone of MABO’s success for more than 42 years. His roles have included:
Referee Coach at the Junior High, A, AA, AAA, AAAA Provincial Championships
Director of Clinics
Long-time MABO and Basketball Manitoba Board Member
Glenn’s tireless commitment to training, mentoring, and evaluating referees has played a critical role in elevating officiating standards throughout the province. His legacy is one of passion, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to excellence in the game.

Beginning his officiating career in 1985 at the age of 16, Cam Moskal has spent the past 34 years contributing to the sport at every level in Manitoba — from junior high to U SPORTS and semi-professional leagues. A respected international official, Cam earned his FIBA certification in 2004 and went on to represent Canada at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Australia, where he officiated the Men's Gold Medal Game.
Cam’s leadership roles in the officiating community include:
MABO President (1996–2004)
Provincial Interpreter (2004–2013)
Provincial Supervisor (2015–2017)
CABO National Interpreter (2016–2020)
In addition to his officiating achievements, Cam has served as a referee coach, evaluator, mentor, and clinician, shaping the next generation of referees in Manitoba and across Canada. In 2020, he was honoured with the Ted Earley Memorial Award — the highest recognition from the Canadian Basketball Officials Commission.
A Lasting Legacy
Both Glenn and Cam have made profound impacts on the sport through their leadership, mentorship, and dedication to officiating. Their contributions have not only shaped the quality of basketball in Manitoba but have also inspired generations of officials to follow in their footsteps.
MABO and Basketball Manitoba extend their deepest thanks to them both for their decades of service and for leaving a legacy that will continue to influence the game for years to come.
