I know I can call an unbiased and fair game and you know you can call an unbiased and fair game. But the thing I have found when interviewing fans and players about a certain game that they lost is that the official was biased. I remember one fan asked what the official saw out there and the person sitting next to her said, "Friends and neigbors." So to avoid the apperance of bias, we must take steps to insure we are not officiating games that involve and Alma Mata, our Kids, our grandkids(not mine), wife's alma mata, our job, our wife's job. There are enough schools that you don't have an emotional interest in that you don't need to be officiating schools where you do have an intrest.
