AMEN BROTHER!! The only way to improve officiating is to improve officials. The only way to improve officials is to improve (and in some cases implement) training. TRAINING, TRAINING, TRAINING.
I have never been a fan of Instant Replay at
any level. Based on my non-scientific observations, most of IR calls that are totally cut-and-dry, the vast majority of them are close as c*nt hair. To stop a game for 10 extra minutes because an official may or may not have missed something by a fraction of a milisecond is ridiculous. The High School game certainly doesn't need to be poisoned with the evils of the college and pro game.
Furthermore, if you have a bad Referee reviewing a bad camera angle to determine if a bad call was missed - what the hell do you end up with?
