I find it interesting also that they complain there is a shortage of officials. I officiate three sports. Soccer is decently populated, but always looking for people. Swimming is short on officials, but that is something they tell me they always have been. And basketball - well, I have been a basketball official now for this season, and have done one game, with one more scheduled- the season has been going on for a month! In my area, basketball is extremely overpopulated, from my view. We have 15-20 new officials in our chapter this year, with another 15 or so that were rookies last year. Just my take on the situation.
