Like I said, some things are pretty obvious. But this thread was started about a male ref with a ponytail. How many of those have you seen at the HS varsity level or higher? Find me one assignor who would call that professional. You can relate to presence and credibility right?.... I can't imagine a male ref with a ponytail who would have credibility with either coach or enough presence to offset the appearance.

Z,
I do not live all over the country. I do not work in all conferences across the country or know all officials in the country. So you think or what I think is professional is sure different from other parts of the country. I think we have proven that on this board time and time again. I do not live in West Virgina or Tennessee or even Alabama or Florida. I am sure the way we do things up here are not completely the same in other parts of the country. I think I have already demonstrated that getting games, moving up or whether you do boy's and girl's basketball all are not the same as many places around this great country. Hell I saw an official last year with Black Jeans on (had a patch in the back) doing a varsity Tournament. I thought that was entirely unprofessional and looked very bad, but he was there. I am sure that was not the first or last time this official had that kind of attire on, but he was working that X-Mas Tournament.
Peace
