Back when I was in high school, I was umpiring high school baseball. Growing a mustache did wonders for my credability by making me look older. However, we've had the discussion at least once around here about facial hair on basketball referees. It seemed to be one of those regionally accepted/not-accepted things. You might want to ask around to see if it would be a problem in your area. If not, I recommend it. If so, you may want to weigh the pros and cons and maybe still do it.
