Thanks Jeff, you have made my point exactly. There is no way that the NCAA can hold any of these officials accountable for what happens in games that are sanctioned by the NCAA. Even though they are supposed to be the ultimate authority of all these games. The decentralization of authority is to blame for this. Since each conference gets together and hires their own assignor, the officials have five different bosses if they work five different conferences. Conceivably, they could work a game each day of the week for each one of them.
This would be like having five bosses at your work and in order to get a year-end bonus all you have to do is please one of them. You could care less about doing a quality job for the other four.
That is rediculous!
Actually, it's more like being a building contractor, and working on a different house each day of the week - for example, my neighbor who is a sheet-rocker...just because he works at a different house each day does NOT mean he does a lousy job or that he needs one centralized body telling him where he can or can't work...if he does a bad job at one house, he won't be hired back by the owner/builder...Kitts made a mistake, and was punished by that conference...the fact that he is good enough to work other places is good for him...as others have said, get over it...to quote a famous Jewish guy: "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone"...analyze Kitt's mistake, learn from it, but "never forgive him for it?" Please...
