If I read the same things in officiting publications and in articles that talk about what is important to officiating, why would folks come here and not repeat the same thing?
Who do you think writes those articles Rut? Yep, referees...maybe some of the same ones who come here. I've even been quoted in a couple of them.
There is a search engine on this board.
Yeah, but that search engine isn't the one making claims with no basis. So you can just say anything you want and when you get called on it you just say, "it's on the internet somewhere." Yeah, that's fair.
Someone said to me long time ago on this board and the other board, "if you cannot pass a test, then you have no business officiating." Now that was said, it does not matter who said it.
Here in Washington State, you only have to get 70% on the NFHS written test and it's open book. If you can't do that, I completely agree that you have no business officiating. It would do a disservice to the players and coaches to not have better rule knowledge than that. In fact, I think 70% is way too low.
Disagreement is apart of life and life will go on.
True, but I think most of us will either back up a claim we make or else say, "my bad."
