Yea, I know, my partner made that very clear. But as refs, it's not our concern is it? I mean, if there's an adult sitting there, we don't need to ask to see his credentials? I'm sure I've been told that it's not an issue for us.
I'd say that it is your concern. If your association makes this requirement clear to all of the member officials and then a situation arises for it to be adhered to you better darn well apply it.
But, Nevada, our association HASN"T made this requirement clear to all officials. In fact, we're told not to worry about OSAA requirements that aren't specifically listed for us, and this isn't one of them. We don't worry about quarters that a player is "in", we don't worry about whether a player or a coach has been suspended for one game, unless we are told otherwise. And we've certainly never been told about coaches needing ASEP certification. So I'd say it's not our concern.
