Is it any different for officials? These guys are working more games in a shorter period than NBA guys and gal where it's their job. Then in the off-season are they breaking down film of their games? Or are they busy catching up with their job they haven't been to for 4 months? Or are they at camps as observers busy working on other people's game instead of their own?
I am sure that if an official wants a copy of a game it is not hard to get, but to say all of them have DVDs for games is not really accurate. Some conferences have games online on a secure website. And I would not suggest that many of them decide not to watch tape. I am sure just like anything in life you have people that care and others that do not care. All individuals that work that level are not employed the same way either. Some run their own businesses or their in sales where travel is already apart of their job. And not everyone is working 100 games a season either.

Peace
