It is no big deal if you have facial hair or not. Your judgement in games and the way you administer a game is what counts. Now, if you come out with facial hair down to your gut...yea, then it will matter. I believe in neatly trimmed facial hair.
Be in good shape, hustle all the time, sprint when necessary, and understand the difference between the two.
I have a goat on my face and have had for 13 years. I work all the big games around the different leagues. Facial hair in Ohio to my knowledge is no big deal.
I do not know the standards for college officials or the pros. If the politics of those in control run so deep as to control a policy for facial hair, then those in control miss the point all together. They should be concentrating on helping improve all officials and getting more younger officials involved.

But it sure sounds like you would "DIE" if you shaved. :^)
No one is advocating that you should shave your stache off. If it works for you, that's great. If it doesn't bother the coaches or your assigner, that's wonderful. But that's not the case everywhere. Judging from the responses, there are prejudices regarding facial hair around the country. And if that's the situation that a person is faced with, he must decide which is more important to him.
It's almost time to toss the roundball!
