Problem is the "good ol boy" mentality. Officials who have been around for a while get the good games while the "new" officials get put on 11 - 0 games. Alot of young officials get put off by this and choose to do something else. You also get the insanity coming from unknowledgable parents. I got out for those two reason alone. Why drive an hour to be screamed at for 3 hours???



Do the officials who have been around a while get the good ones because they are proven, while the new officials cut their teeth on some of the games with secure results? Just a thought, but I would think the young bucks have to climb the ladder. Could be wrong...
