Speechless in Spokane
Well, maybe not speechless, but certainly dumbfounded, shocked and surprised.
I was not aware that such practices were still allowed at the high school level. Nothing even approaching the semblance of that happens in my area.
AD's contact assignors of local associations with their schedules and that's the end of their involvement in selecting umpires.
Having an AD that chummy with a sports official is to invite suspicion and criticism. Having an umpire that chummy with an AD is to invite trouble. What are these people thinking?
I would suggest a course in Ethics 101 for all concerned.
