Jeff you are arguing different things. Liability and insurance coverage are not the same thing. Having insurance coverage does not remove liability. Insurance coverage just means that (perhaps, if they want to and can't find a legal escape) the insurance company will pay for losses if you are found liable for malfeasance. It does not remove your responsibility for proper conduct of the contest.

I think you are completely missing my point. This is not who could be liable or who is not liable. I do not understand how an insurance company can hold an official responsible for knowing the status of another official. And how someone comes to a game does not tip me off as to if that person has a license or not. I have never seen anyone come to a game the way it was described in this post. But I have worked with officials that never had a license and dressed like everyone else that worked basketball games. If you know just by looking at people, then you need to set up a 900 number and start making the big bucks. Because I do not know how you can figure it out just by what someone looks like.
