Experience Rather Than Athleticism ...

Not me. With an arthritic ankle riddled with bone spurs, and a bad knee with a partially torn meniscus, I have voluntarily self-exiled myself to only subvarsity games, mostly middle school games, and even in those games I have to use experience rather than athleticism to get the best angles.

Would middle coaches rather have forty year veteran slow moving dinosaurs officiating their games, or speedy spanking brand new rookie gazelles officiating their games?

I know what they really want, forty year veteran speedy gazelles, but those guys are working varsity games at night, not middle school games in the mid-afternoon.
