Not just weight but overall conditioning is a factor.
We have 1 gentleman in our association that is a veteran of D-1 college and knows how to work a game like nobody else. As the years have caught up with him - knee surgery, arthritis, heart surgery - needless to say he's slowed way down.
Aa an experiened official he's efficient and can still call and manage a good game.
I worry about overweight, out-of-shape rookies.
Yes, physical ability to work a game becomes a greater factor early in one's development.
