I acknowledged that my sentiment might seem cold, if we are only looking at the situation from the viewpoint of the "hurting" official. However, my main point was that officiating is a service that we provide to hardworking kids and their coaches. They put a tremendous amount of hours in and we have to respect that. I truly believe that they deserve a quality performance, and if an individual is incapable of giving that for whatever reason then he/she ought to step aside and allow someone else to fill in. So my thought is actually about putting others first. I'm sorry that you didn't take it that way.
