Please don't tell me they are considering this move because (some) referees can't toss up the ball straight and high....
I just read Snaqwells comment about Iowa girls. Might as well put them back in bloomers. What's that all about, is it not ladylike to jump?

I wish I knew. I was taking some time away from officiating when they made that change; and I never really heard the rationale behind it. I'll ask around and get back with you on it.
Any other Iowa refs here who might know? Junker?
