Why would you expect that? The skill set needed to play and officiate are not necessarily the same. Neither are a number of other variables that would cause one to become a player or an official. Therefore, there is no logical reason to assume a priori that the officials and participants of any particular sport would or should come from the same racial, ethnic, religious, or any other category or group used to describe people.
