Doesn't really tell us much. It would be nice to learn about how the local association did handle it, but I wouldn't expect that to be made public. Anyone here close to this area? Were there ANY disciplinary actions on the officials at all?

I know several officials in that association and have heard quite a bit. There is really nothing the State can do. Bad officiating and judgment is not a hangable offense, and local control takes precedence. Nothing was done by their association at all. Leadership said, "We all saw the video. No need to talk about it.". And they did not. They did assign two of the officials to playoff games. But they told the State they would deal with it, so what else can they say? That association used to be great and develop officials like Dick Cartmell, but for some reason the great ones walked away en masse a few years ago and it has really gone downhill quickly. Those officials would have been removed from Varsity ball for the remainder of the year in our group.
