Also I would not recommend someone like that to this board. I think it is better for people that have some working knowledge of what they are supposed to do or willing to learn. Based on what you described, I do not know that he fits that profile and this place can be not only confusing but brutal if you do not know many of the basics.

Second year official here, yes, I'm one of the 30% or so that came back for year two. I found this site around the time I first started pouring through the rules and case books around this same time last year.
I think people search for information when there's enough desire. My guess is many of us found this site because of searching for information to become a good official. Although I have no problem telling him about this site, I guess a part of me wonders if he hasn't found it by now would he utilize the resource? Only one way to find out, I guess.
