Maybe our stripes should be bullseyes

It is laughable in my opinion to say that officials aren't accountable. An official's accountability is in his schedule. If an official does a bad job consistently, he simply won't get the top games, or if the level of officiating drops by an official, their schedule will not be as good as it was before. What type of accountability do you want? Do you want it published when an official get downgraded or criticized by an assignor? Imagine what that would do if the fans got hold of that information? Along the same lines, I want to know as an official what action a school takes against a coach when he acts inappropriately or gets a technical foul for unsportsmanlike behavior. If a coach cusses me out and I have to report it, shouldn't I find out what happened to the coach and how the school disciplined him? Bottom line, coaches and officials are both accountable, but not to each other and that's how it should stay.
