"Gannaway believes the critical officiating issues the IHSA is trying to address ... deal with the fact that officials are getting older and that qualified, young officials aren't filling the void."

So Dave thinks 1) there are not enough new, young officials coming in, or 2) the current young officials aren't good enough to take the place of older officials.

It's not about filling the void, but not having the opportunities to move up and take the games the "good ol' boys" guarantee the oldsters. I shouldn't have to wait until someone dies to move up. (Which is the case for Utah post-season, btw.)
