How can you say that, Dan(he said in an outraged voice)?
Didn't you read the part where this gentleman said that he had played a lot of ball? And not only that, he has also received his fair share of accolades in the sport? That certainly should mean a heckuva more than the poor schnook that only reads the rulebooks, learns the mechanics, does hundreds of games at all levels to get experience, goes to camps, and then spends many years learning about officiating before finally working his way up to getting some NCAA assignments.
I really think that next year the NCAA should hold a lottery and let 3 winning fans officiate the final game. The only prerequisite to enter might be that they have "played the game". Or maybe "watched the game" if they think that those restrictions are too severe.
