And your comment is stupd, even for you. We have 8 state championship games, 4 boys and 4 girls. We send one crew to work a state championship game every year. With 8 games, we've NEVER had a problem with puttung neutral crews on every single game. So no, it's not necessary to not assign an official a state final. You simply assign him a game with teams that he normally doesn't work.

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.
Congratulations.

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.
I can discuss any aspect of this situation that I choose to, without regard to what you think should or should not be discussed. After all, it is a discussion forum.
