One of the biggest improvements might be simple common sense. Officials could warn players early on some violations and talk with coaches who have complaints.

A really stupid quote in an otherwise marginal article.

but overall the guy makes some very good points. With more and more games being televised now, its only going to increase the scrutiny that we as officials are under.

But I agree with him, many officials work too many games and sooner or later its going to catch up with them.

I see it in our local HS and colleges, and I'm sure it's even more evident in the big conferences.

Thanks
