I'm not missing the point. I'm a very good reader, thank you. I was simply making a different point. Sorry to have let you down.

No way should an organiztion impose a weight limit to determine the ability to officiate a game.

I disagree. There comes a point where a person is unable to move sufficiently to get proper position to see the play. How are you going to officiate rebounding action if you're still in the backcourt? How can you officiate a drive to the basket on a fast break if you're the Lead official and you can only make it to the 28' line?
It's absurd to say that obesity doesn't hinder a person's ability to officiate well. I could ref a whole game by myself by standing at midcourt -- but I couldn't do it well.
If you're too fat to get into position, you shouldn't be on the court for two reasons. 1) You can't do your best job of officiating; and 2) The health risk that you're putting yourself in. JMO.
