Actually, appointing a spokesman, er, I mean spokesperson (dammit, Juulie, you got me again) to speak for all the refs in an area or association is a great idea. I vote for Dave.

I don't commit the foul, I just point it out when it happens!

Hey - that's my line!
Actually - I really wouldn't mind talking to the press. I do it all the time anyway, due to my involvement in civic affairs and politics in my city and state. I do have some experience in this area.
After college, I went to broadcasting school and worked in radio doing news and sports. I did play by play of HS football and basketball, NCAA basketball and hockey plus semi-pro baseball.
And no, I never presumed to know the rules better than the officials. I left that to the color commentator.
In fact, in one HS football game, my "sidekick" said that he expected a team that just scored to take the lead with two minutes left in the game would probably try an on-side kick.
I just stared at him. It's a good thing we weren't on TV.
And - before Juulie gets a chance - I'll say it. Yes, I have a face made for radio.
