It's not that TASO is a union but in my opinion this is akin to union busting. I feel it sets a dangerous precedent for other states. It doesn't take a Mensa member to know that the ADs don't have our best interest in mind when it comes to pay etc.
The basketball officials in my area have already "broke ranks" with TASO for some unknown reason. If I was an AD in another state and see Texas ADs busting down their officials organization I'd be tempted to do the same.
Ain't no way that I'm going under UIL. I don't do this for the money.
Cue up the Neil Young music, "Proud to be a union man, make those payments when I can..."
