We are not judging these things by who we might have worked with, we are judging this by what we see. I am not impressed with a lot of Pac 12 officiating. Of course there are more officials out this way and there are good and buy guys all the way around, but I see a lot of things that make me scratch my head out when watching in the Pac 10/12 games. That being said I have seen some outstanding officials work games, but overall I wonder where they get some of them. And if a lot of them are getting to that level without having to go through the fire, then that might explain that.
