I don't think tests are the answer, either. Especially since they're all open book Part I and Part II) here and we go through the tests question by question at association meetings.

But you'd think there'd be some *consequences* for officials that get something so wrong. A few years ago, we had a muffed punt returned by K for a TD and it was discussed at an association meeting and the prevailing attitude was that "they're good officials" and "this can happen to anyone." I wanted to barf.
