Many wreck league players are former HS players. Does that make them capable referees?
As long as we are asking hypothetical questions, can a former player pass a rules or mechanics test?
No doubt, being a former player gives one perspective as a referee, but most everyone in the gym (fans and players included) have played the game at some point. It is not the top credential for a referee by any means.
