Ref18 is working youth and middle school,there is a very good possibility that there are not ANY varsity officials working those games for him to observe under those conditions.

My question would be,how many other high school aged officials are working these games.Ref18 may be getting extra heat based on age.Coaches may not accept things because of that.

I'll finish with this,I'd be more than willing to work with ref18. [/B][/QUOTE]

Well we have quite a few young officials somewhere between 30-50, but they mostly do rec ball. I'm one of the few who've done a lot of the rep stuff. Last weekend I did the gold medal games for the 4A Atom boys and girls tournament. A lot of the highschool aged officials i've talked to are in it because of the money, and that's why they've probably not advanced that far.

And thanks for your vote of confidence.
