Amen.
Similarly, it would be just as ridiculous imo to put in a policy that you couldn't officiate D1 or NBA games
before the age of...say...30 or 35 because you aren't experienced or mature enough yet to work at those levels until then. Or maybe even establish an age requirement that you must be a minimum of 25 years old before you can officiate a high school varsity game, for the same reasons. That would be Nevadian logic of the finest kind also.
Think that your son, the up-and-coming baseball umpire, would like that one, Garth?
