You get what you pay for ... you convince the AD to put up big bucks for freshman games, and I'm guessing you get top notch officals flying in for you. (you'll have to pay travel expenses as well)
Most refs at all levels are trying to make the right call to the best of their ability - if you have the same problems with all the lower level refs, its either a a cancerous problem in your area, or its you.

Or it could be you reading and picking things from my post to which you would like to attack. I do believe that they are doing their best. I also feel like some coaches are doing their best, but we know what that gets them sometimes too dont we..FIRED! I just feel like we as officials often complain that about coaches allowing their players to commit 50 fouls in game and that they should clean it up. Coaches would like officiating to be cleaned up too. As I said I have been on both sides of the fence. I did V for 8 years and worked with mostly good partners. The JV level however is not good around here. We have several officials who really dont understand some of the basics of the game and that isn't acceptable.
As for you snide comments about flying officials in, its JV. And if you would read my post in its entirity would should have seen where I said that I guess it is to be expected!! Or maybe I shouldnt expect the officials to be excellent. Tough calls are going to be missed, happens to everyone, but rules interpretations are a different story. Again you say if I have the same problems with all lower lever refs then....yada yada yada. READ THE POST. I said that we have a few who have no clue. I said that one night we will have a good 2 man crew and then next a bad 3 man.
Free advice, wont cost you anything, ease up on the rude comments until after you have read the complete post, then attack if you feel the need.
