I knew I was heading down a slippery slope with that, Jeff.
I guess what I should've said was "same." The officials shouldn't be the "same."
It takes work identifying a different set of officials every season. It's EASIER to use the same officials year in and year out. Some places take the easy way out.
Regardless of whether those officials in IL work a final, they get the finals patch to keep and wear (if they choose), right? Well, everyone who stays with officiating and does a good job should get the shot at working that in a career. Every time someone goes back for a (more than one) time, it reduces the number of people getting that opportunity by one.
I'd do it once and be more than happy to let someone else get the shot moving forward, if that was the policy.
