Wow! That must be one heck of an association to work for. That kind of oversight and training likely makes for some good officials. It would be wonderful to have had such training when I was a younger official.
Our association scrambles to get enough officials several times during the season. Already this year we've been forced to assign first year guys, with only 5 or 6 less than varsity games, to varsity games. It makes for some spotty officiating, but the coaches understand that we are in a population limited area (farm/ranch country for 200 miles in every direction) and it is tough to get and keep experienced officials.
