But again, tell me why those should be the officials' problems.
No one should sacrifice his/her real job to work subvarsity basketball like so many of these schools seem to think. Not all positions have flexible hours for employees, and that's not going to change just because there's an officials shortage.

I totally agree with this. Later times would help in many situations for officials. It is easier for varsity officials when your game is the main focus.
