Here we go again, kicking around the poor, beleagured, thought-provoking, polite BBC. Let's give his ideas their due--some serious thought and response!

Why should the public not be made aware of when an official has screwed up and has been disciplined?

Whatever happened to the old public stocks? Whenever an official makes a call that a fan, coach, or player doesn't like, they can be put in the stocks in the public square. I suppose the ol' dunce cap in the corner of the gym would work, too. C'mon, guys, are we really that afraid of opening ourselves up to the criticism of the experts?

Are you not public workers who are being paid by the tax dollars that the local community pays to the school?

Perhaps a government office to oversee the proper discipline of officials would be in order, since we're apparently employed by the government. Sort of like the CIA. How about the BOOB--Board Of Official Bashing. I have a nomination for head BOOB!
