The Association that assigned these officials defended it, and did nothing regarding it or about it. They assigned post season games to two of them. My association sets standards and holds Varsity guys accountable for judgment, mechanics, and professionalism. Many do not, which is pretty sad.

A couple things need to be put into perspective. This is HS sports we are talking about. Even though I may not like the way the officials handled the situation with more than things than what was not called, I think it is a little silly to act like officials have to be reprimanded for a produced video. And I cannot blame all 3 officials for every call that was showed. We can always pull plays out of the a film and claim something was wrong. And just because they did not suspend the officials does not mean they did not do something about it. Maybe, just maybe they saw the entire video and had some other opinions about the game. Actually many of the plays were not flagrant and in some cases no more than common fouls. I think the official's background could mean something as well like it does in many other situations.
I guess I just love it when people come from an outside view and automatically think the officials should be suspended. As stated if we questioned every video and made decisions based on a produced video, you would not have many HS officials able to work games.
