I think it falls on the IHSA -- they should have those guys' schedule in front of them (maybe they don't, but they should -- we have to submit our schedule to a site that's accessible by everyone, including the state office). Before a crew gets assigned a game, someone should be looking at their schedule and seeing if that crew is used to working that kind of basketball. |
- Less quotas and more common sense. There are enough good officials that diversity should not be an issue. It's not like they would have to fast track a minority to get this accomplished.
- Most of these guys are not as much of a go getter as you. I did work in the Southern IL area, so I am pretty well versed with the average level of competition. I sanctioned in Missouri and went across the river to get more diverse games.
- I agree that is squarely falls on the IHSA. Coaches are the only rating we get now. We will see after this year how well that works.
