I actually said 90% of the officials in my area would call that specific play traveling.
In a separate statement, I also said that 10% of the officials in our association are very good. That would leave the remaining 90% to be average to not-so-average. That also is not a statement about officials in any other areas.
But if you feel that any critique about officials demeans and denigrates the whole profession, I am sorry you feel so defensive. I often have good discussions with officials in our association (they even seek me out before games sometimes when i am out scouting, to quiz me on obscure situations, etc). The top officials seem to also agree that the overall quality of the officiating in our area has dropped as of late due to conditions that drive the better officials elsewhere. So i guess that means those officials are demeaing and denigrating officials also.

Why are you asking us anyway? You've already informed us that being such a renowned, self-acclaimed rules junky, you already know more than 90% of the officials. If you're that smart, answer your own damn questions. Look 'em up in your rule book. You sureashell don't need us.
