Bryan Brunette

Camp Director

Bryan was hired as the ODAC (Old Dominion Athletic Conference) Coordinator of Women’s Basketball Officials in April, 2026 and created The Referee Institute at that time.  

A 30 year veteran of DI women’s basketball officiating, he works the ACC, America East, American, A-10, Big East, Big South, Coastal and Patriot League conferences.  He has worked numerous conference tournaments, including championship games, and was selected to work 2 Final Fours; Nashville in 2014 and Tampa in 2015.

With a B.A. in Business from Seattle University (‘86) and an M.S. in Higher Education from Miami University (OH) (‘90) his educational background in training and development has guided his passion for assisting newer officials in achieving their goals and has been instrumental in the development of previous camps and now The Referee Institute.  

Working with former ODAC WBB Coordinator, Vickie Van Kleeck, over 20 years they built a unique approach to basketball officials’ camps which remains the gold standard today. 

He resides, with his husband and four-legged feline daughter Lucy, in Winston-Salem, NC.
