Hurst, in all honesty, do you feel that the assigner does that? I have written a few emails with no response and no action. You know as well as I do that a few should not have been asked back. Why do we continue to let those 'few bad apples' tarnish the group as a whole? I have been to over 2 dozen HS games this year to-date and I have seen an assessor twice, and one of those was a scrimmage game. How many games have you done this year and how many times assessed? How often do the refs as a group get together once the season starts or at the end of the season? Do those refs sitting in the stands watching a game for enjoyment give the crew and/or assessor/assignor feedback if they see something 'horrible'? Feedback, physical conditioning, and capability are critical. The refs need to earn their keep as it is not bad pay. Schools/teams should receive the quality that they are paying for.
