It really has nothing to with whether he would be biased or not. I'm sure he wouldn't. But it's all about the "apopearance" of bias or a conflict of interest. There are other games. They should have looked for a way to move him off that game and to another one at the same level of the playoffs. That's just plain stupid and it's asking for trouble.

Seems you think the glass is half empty too huh?
There are people who can put his/her personal feeling aside and call an objective game. I know if I ever had the chance to go to my old HS and do a game, I would. I have been back to my Alma Mater in college as well and had no qualms about going there and called the game down the middle (as I always do)!
So please do not condem the people that have a hard enough job as it is. There was a good reason those officials were chosen for the assignment!
One other thing, please get a dictionary or use "spell check".
