Here in GA, the individual from the state that assigns the post-season was a college official for what I understand to be over 2 decades. Thus, he allows the collegiate mechanics. The mentality is much more along these lines, as opposed to what some would consider "text-book" refereeing. It is much more about plays, communication, and handling the game. He hopes and encourages college officials to "come back" and do high school games, because they can handle whatever comes. In fact, all 3 officials that did the 5A title game were DI officials. This is not intended to knock any other state, it is just a different way of doing things. We have our issues too, but just wanted to provide some background info.
