Attitude
I don't really know you CLAY other than from what you've posted here so I can only speculate what your agenda is. From the sound of your original post, although these guys are "fat", because you also describe them as huffing and puffing, I assume they did run up and down the court and make a few calls and keep the game under control. Whether they "sucked" because of their appearance or their judgement in making their calls, that's a subjective opinion and you are certainly entitled to yours. However, as much as an official's outward appearance is a key factor in judging their abilities, there are so many more factors to consider. Just as key are an official's attitude, demeanor, experience and how they react to adverse and unusual situations. None of us knows how these factors applied to the officials you describe. I'm speculating that these guys have a significant amount of experience dealing with all kinds of situations beyond the basic rules, and perhaps that's why they got the championship game - mainly for their abilities in areas that are not so easily noticed on the outside.
