CaptStevenM, I am going to guess this is NC State. As someone who runs an IM program and trains officials, this stuff usually burns me a bit. I know the staff at NC State and they do a good job.
We do a four day, 8 hour training with our student officials. Our kids get paid $6.35 an hour. They work for us as an official instead of slinging hash at the dining hall. Kids like the writer appear in the paper every other year or so. Complaining about how they lost, got screwed, or worse by our staff of untrained officials. Funny thing is, it is usually the games with my best officials on them that they have the problem with.
Sorry...I'll get down off the soap box now.
