Are you trying to be as offensive as possible in your post?
No i wasn't trying to be offensive. I was just trying to present what I saw. I guess I could have said I saw a girls basketball game where the 2 refs had a genetic predisposition to being 50 lbs overweight which lead them to having a physical impairment to getting no more than 3-5 feet past the division line all evening when they were the trail official. But due to their eyes receiving a assist from these glass things that wrapped around their ears they were able to get great angles from over by the scorers table.

Someone wrote on this board once that officiating isn't rocket science it's a specific set of skills. I am well on my way to acquiring these skills. Truthfully, I would personally be embarrassed to show up to officiate looking like they looked the other night. My point was and still is you just don't see ,very often, officials looking like this on the boys side of things.

In our Association you start getting Varsity games no sooner than 5 years . I have 3 years so no Varsity for about 2 more years irregardless of how crappy or great an official I am.
