At the end of the day, they have to be able to work.
I hire people from college intramural programs to work varsity games. They are some of my best officials. One thing I will say about all of them is that they are as mechanically sound as anyone and they all seem to have the right attitude about officiating.
I do wonder if they have enough experience should things go south, but I guess there's only one way to get that.
