Now, I guess what I am really asking then is - are we our own worst enemies?
In that, there seems to be little cohesion when it comes to training and improvement.
We keep hearing about the quality of officiating and the politics involved; but, there are no real standards.
But then, there seem to be no real standards in many of the rules for the various leagues.
Then again, maybe I just need to turn around - and stop pi$$ing in the wind?!?!?!?
