Well, maybe that's how you get better.
Critiquing my own performance is how I get better. Getting critiqued by officials I know & respect is how I get better. Critiquing other officials is what I do to try & make THEM get better, if they're willing to listen & accept it. Critiquing other officials behind their back is...well...rude.

You can learn from the bads and the goods that these officials do. I'm one of the last people to bash officials but Ed Hightower does some things that would be unacceptable for newer college officials and this is simply because he IS Ed Hightower.

I can't imagine 1 thing Hightower does that would not make an aspiring college official better if he put it into his game.

I think he is a great official and I try to pick up things from watching him work.

Then we agree.

And many of those officials are not there because of pure ability.

Many, eh? Name 5 or 6.

There are PLENTY of officials working HS ball that could easily be working college level games. Its not always how good you are but who you know.

Yeah I know...if I only had the connections I would be touring the world making big money instead of doing my singing in the church choir.
