I think you have to adjust to the level of talent at times to keep the game flowing and ad/disad is more important than ever because of it.
What am I missing?
Sounds like, IMO, the only thing you're missing is an "I'm too good to be bothered by you" attitude. I totally agree with you when you say the participants deserve a quality job. That game may very well be the highlight of somebodys athletic career...don't spoil it for them. It is also important to the parents watching the darlings compete. How will you feel knowing they have to explain why the jerk in the funny looking shirt didn't try and messed up the game (probably their opinion...not necessarily mine).

Since I was never a stud at any sport, I am probably overboard in this area. I think if your not going to give it your best effort and call the game properly, get the hell off the floor and let someone who will take your place.

I'll get off my soap box now.
