Rinky Dink Officials Locker Rooms

[buckrog64]

We have found that schools with great traditions often (but not always) have classy systems in place when working with officials. One such school gives us our own locker room for our FB crew, a cooler full of pop and water, assorted snacks, a meat/cheese tray, etc. We also have a personal escort (not a cheerleader, you sick-os) who leads us to and from the field and makes sure we have what is needed. We sign that contract every time, in spite of the distance involved because that school makes the whole experience a lot of fun. We also have plenty of schools where we have to walk from the building to the field, and at the end of the game, the key holder is nowhere in sight.

After reading this thread I really can't complain. Most of the schools have nice ref facilities at the varsity level. 10 of the schools have a ref room, 5 uses the AD's office, 2 use another room for the officials. All have showers for the officials. The biggest complaint is space when you have 5 refs in there (2 JV) 3 Varsity.

I don't think it's fair to call an official "rinky dink". But why does he have his own locker room?
