Great questions Ed. Now if I can just get the folks in Indianapolis to think about those.
AD's/coaches "think" they no what a quality official is. In some cases, they are right. In others, they are wrong. As I stated earlier, I don't enjoy this system but it is what we have so I either work or I don't.
As for what happens in a few years since we have games in 2007? One of the crews in my association is disbanding after this year. The crew chief has spent the last few weeks trying to get the games he has contracts for covered. If he can't, he will have to contact the school and have them again fill the spot. I understand the control portion of all of this for the AD but I have never understood the time part. One AD in my town works at a Junior/Senior school. He has to get officials for everything from Varsity to 7th grade. Football isn't that bad but I have no idea how he has time to do anything else during basketball season.
Ed or anyone else, if you can visit the IHSAA and get them to implement change, you are a much better person than those of us in the state.
