So if I am reading Nevada correctly, he wants us to believe that someone with less experience who is NOT better than someone with more experience should be given important playoff games so that they can get experience...that makes absolutely no sense at all. There are a myriad of ways that the "younger" official can get experience and become better than the more experienced official...there are some people on this board who know me personally and have heard me say tell "younger" officials - "Come and get me". If you want my games then you need to be better than me and prove to the boss that you should have those games over me - and there are officials older than me telling me the same thing. It isn't about age, it's about how good the official is...

And as for Juggling Referee's comments, what that tells me is that you happen to know some older officials who shouldn't be working that level...bet you know some older officials who are still pretty freaking good at it, too!
