David--JV and sophomore official
Let me also add that over the years everyone on this list has disagreed with each other and I know I have had my fallings out with each one of them in some way or another. This is one thing that is very clear we all agree on without wavering. I could be wrong, but I will take my chances with the people here that have shown they know something about officiating, then a person that has no desire to move up (his words, not mine) and thinks he knows better than the conventional wisdom of very experienced official.

And therein we have an argument which has caused numerous problems throughout history in numerous venues.
This is the way we do it, so it must be the best and only way to do it.
Nothing like being open to different ideas. Experience wins every time. So experienced officials never make bad calls. Experienced officials never get screened. Experienced officials NEVER call outside their primary because since they are perfect and their partners are perfect, they never have to worry about anyone missing a call - because no one does.
Seems like a pretty clear statement to me.
