You are correct. Any official who can't give 100% shouldn't take the game. Give me a greenhorn for a partner at 100% over the best varsity ref at 50% anytime. I always keep in mind myself as a freshman on the frosh team (a few years ago). On game days, the entire day dragged and I could not wait until game time. I'm sure every lower level team has a few of those kids that their game means the world to them. To think that I would give any kid like that less than my all is not something I could ever do.
