We can't even get quality video now from the schools. Anyone who really believes this can happen is smoking something.

As mentioned above, the best thing is to develop officials better. More clinics and more quality video training as well as mentoring and evaluation would be great.

The costs of IR are crazy. How many schools will pay for the equipment? How many are going to pay multiple persons to do quality video work during a game? How about the delays involved? Remember, this IS high school. Let's keep it in perspective.

And I respectfully disagree that the purpose of IR is to "incrementally" improve officiating. I've already listed steps that should be taken to do that. IR won't make us better officials. Improved training will.

If you think people are law-suit crazy now, just see what IR would do for them.

Currently, the best protection we have is a state and national association that says that NO protests will be allowed.
