He obviously wasn't. I sorta know the guy. He came over and talked to us at halftime. It turns out that he is one of the jr. high coaches at that school. My point was that I saw his uniform, said "This guy is not a real ref," then went on to judge his performance on its own merit, which, under the circumstances, I thought was pretty good. Conversely, if I had come in and seen a perfectly dressed crew of 2 or 3, but they sucked as officials, I may or may not have noticed how they were dressed, but would have surely noticed if they sucked as officials. Is appearance important? Definitely. Is it as important as the performance on the floor? I say definitely not.
