So if an official gets picked to do the state championship game and it's his alma mater, should he get taken off the game? That's silly.
At our state tournaments, we aren't allowed to officiate teams from our district for the first two days. After that, things fall where they may. No problems. I have reffed my alma mater (boys and girls games) many times during the regular season and in the playoffs. No problems. I graduated from there 25 years ago and it's completely irrelevant.
The situation in Kentucky was a problem because two
official's involved were unprofessional. Let's not twist it to appear as if it was a problem because of the assignment.
