I got a problem with this one. A D1/D2 official worrying about a regional semi-final HS game. WTF!!!! If you are a DI official, you should be chasing college assignments. I'm sure you should be able to find some college work somewhere on the east coast and not have to sweat a HS game.
No doubt I would be disappointed that a 1st year official is working such a playoff game. The question that comes up is did this person come in with high credentials from let's say another state. In other words he/she has already worked state playoff games but from a different region. This is okay to me but college officials who barely worked any HS games during the regular season working the state HS playoff games is wrong, imo.
