The topic is just something I would never let someone publish. While it may be something an individual finds important to them, it's going to spit in the face of anyone who isn't on board. In most demographics it's never going to sit well. |

When In Rome ....
Quote:
Although I've recently had an article published in the IAABO Sportorial, this article, Four's Company, is only for my local board. Since a recent change in our rating system, we have many officials who think that they can just show up, work their game, and leave. That my be 100% alright for many Forum members, but it's not alright here in my little corner of Connecticut. This article is just a friendly reminder to our local officials that includes a rationale for our policy.

It's not friendly when it alienates most new officials. New professional referees with high potential don't like the idea of wasting an entire night learning nothing. They'd rather show up, do a great job, and go home with some money.
Everyone learns in their own way and I don't care how they do it as long as they make my association better. Being the best is about having the best, not about arbitrary expectations of an imaginary rationale. |

With all due respect to the previous critique given... No, strike that. With NO due respect to the previous critique given...
![]() What you were assigned to communicate, based on your board's wishes seems to have been clearly and forthrightly expressed. No overly flowerly language, no undue or harsh criticism, no calling people out unjustly, no "from the top down" pontificating (that's three commas in a sentence without a verb - ![]() ![]() Looks good. Print it. ![]()

Check Your Local Listings ...
Quote:
In the past this policy was carved in stone (with established penalties; assignment penalties, and cash penalties), now it's only carved in wood, so officials need to be reminded of their member expectations. Again, this is a "When in Rome ..." thing, and I'm fully aware that local listings will be much different in other geographic areas.

There is no good reason to have this expectation except personal whims. They think it's practical, educational, etc. At least they are moving in the right direction. I can't even fathom cash penalties. Last edited by Dad; Sat Nov 28, 2015 at 05:02pm. |

Do you have a good varsity official pool? Who's good and who isn't? Who has a bad habit newer guys will pick up? What should you be looking for? For a newer official it's so hard to get a good foundation, especially if you don't have much experience with the game. |
