Your thoughts and experiences?
Not everyone is willing to train or prepared/able to train younger officials. Actually there are many that want to do that I would not want to train officials at all. That does not mean that they have the attitude you suggest. It might mean they are in their comfort zone and do not want to get out of that. We all do this for very different reasons.
