Have you seen the "new" breed of young adults getting out of school?
They are hired for the ability they posses with a computer, not how they dress.
I'll take that dorky dressed nerd over your suit and tie glamour boy any day of the week and kick your.......
judge not the cover of the book, but yet the contents of that book!!!!!

Here is a question for the board. A1 passes to A2, A2 misses the ball and goes out of bounds. I am the nearest official to the play. I have on belted pants and my partner is wearing beltless pants. Who makes the call?

Hey, it's great to see some youthful idealism out there. Us oldsters get so cynical as we age. Folks, the reality is that people ARE judged by their looks, whether that's fair, proper or right. I wish it wasn't so, but it is. You can rant and rave all you want to, but if you want to move up, you've got to face the reality that as officials we are often pigeon-holed the minute we walk onto the court. Most assignors will tell you right up front what tney want in terms of belts, facial hair, shiny shoes, collar and so forth and so on. If you don't do it, there are another 150 refs who are just as good as you are who will. If you don't want to work for those assignors, okay, but you're not going to change them, so it's totally up to you whether you submit or not. I don't like it either, but that's the way it is.
