I think both sides of this argument are correct.
Btaylor is simply stating what many supervisors are saying. Whether the "big dogs" follow it is another issue. An official who works for one of the D1 supervisors called off a number of officials ("big dogs") who he already knows will not enforce this. This probably will not happen as it is written, but that is just the way things are. I don't always put too much faith in "big dogs" because they aren't all necessarily the best officials. Sure, supervisors and coaches might be happy/comfortable with them, but that doesn't mean they are calling correctly, it just means they aren't making waves - two different ways to look at it. The NCAA tape is proof of this. Where do they get examples of what NOT to do? The NCAA tournament (to a large extent at least).
