SEC Officials
HogFan,
I used to coach basketball and really enjoyed watching it on TV and in person. I would often criticize the officials and think that I knew the rules better than them. This is my first year being a ref and it has totally changed my ideas about refs and calling games. The rules are simple to read but the philosophy of calling the game is what most fans and coaches don't get. I have to agree with JRutledge and the others on this. Enjoy the game as a fan. I watch games now and watch the officials mostly. They do a great job. Of course, you may think they missed a call but you can never know if they really did. They may have passed on that call for some philosophical reason. I agree with Brad. If you want to evaluate officials, you need to learn how to officiate and no, you can't learn that from reading the rules or watching games on TV.
