It's just a different way of thinking.
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.
