If any "identifier" is needed on the shirt, it should be for the
veteran official who . . .
- detests working a lower level game since he thinks he deserves only varsity assignments
- refuses to arrive early enough to do a good lockerroom pregame with partner(s)
- hasn't cracked a rulebook or casebook since the three point arc was inaugurated
- has no clue what a primary area of responsibility is
- makes his mechanics a means whereby to call attention to himself (cf. "Mechanics Pet Peeves")
- took that assignment knowing full well he's got a conflict of interest with one of the teams
- doesn't care about helping to make his partner(s) better
- (add more here yourself . . . . . . )
THAT'S the guy that needs an "identifier"!
