That would explain some of the livestock I encounter at games.

My personal opinion is that this first year is going to be one of adjustments, and within 2-3 years thinks will stabilize a bit.

Last weekend, I was talking to ref crew before one of the games (not sure if RM is still a trainer here), and for basketball, one idea is to have the new(er) officials call middle school girls basketball in the areas where that remains a fall sport so that they get experience for the winter high school season.

We will make do the best we can.
