That's true, Jeff, and I don't think anybody will argue with you. I think the point some others were making is that the standards aren't really all that different. Yes, some areas tolerate a mustache or goatee; but no area that I know of would tolerate a pony-tail (on a guy) or a full beard (at least on the college level). And the further up the ladder you go, the less difference there is in the standards. Would you agree with that?

Chuck, I have seen many officials with full beards in my state. I think it all depends on who is assigning the games. Not everyone gets games by one person or one group. But just because we do not see officials wearing goatees and beards does not mean that there is a standard that everyone
has to adhere to.
Guys I have a goatee and would get rid of it if someone told me to and told me I would not be hired because of that fact. But I have not at all been told that or been suggested that is the best thing to do. Chuck, I am telling you I do not know something and I do not want to speculate when this story was about a HS ref. College is another level all together. They are paid differently. The expectations are different and usually much more money is at stake with the conferences and coaches involved. Everyone does not want to be a college official. I know it might suprise some of you, but that is the case.
Peace
