Bingo!
There's no real correllation between the two imo also.
I've seen relatively inexperienced officials that I thought did an absolutely great job.
I've seen very experienced officials blow chunks.

Agreed. I've seen some officials who have been exercising bad judgment and exercising poor mechanics and poor communication for 20 years. I've seen some second-year officials who have caught on already. Combine a an official who "gets it" AND a few years of experience and you have something special. Experience in-and-of-itself means nothing.
