You can walk into any number of middle school and rec league gyms to find guys who can officiate and not make the mistake these three guys did.

I used to run a McDonald's when I was in college. I could teach someone to make a hamburger in a few minutes. It takes years for someone to become a good, varsity-quality official. I have no clue how good these officials are, but someone felt they were capable of working this game.
You're willing to throw away 3 careers built up over years because of a (regrettable) mistake?
I like to think I won't make a monumental gaffe in my game tonight. But I'm human and it could happen. If it does, it means I should throw away 27 years of work and find something else to do?
There's an old phrase..."There but for the grace of God go I..."
