Personally, I thought this line of thinking was pretty much dead.
For the high school level this is not as big of a deal. It is preferred to not wear glasses? Of course it is, but like anything else there are always exceptions and I doubt a deal breaker. I do not run into many officials period that wear glasses in basketball. But there is a guy that worked a State Final several years ago and is one of the most well known officials. At the college level I think this would be a near deal breaker.

Peace
