I have said this before, there is a lot of money involved and our (officials) mistakes will start to be made public more and more.

My point is it is a different set of circumstances. An official does not make the kind of money and is not personally as responsible to one entity as a coach is. Yes, we have an important job, but they do not announce when we get hired and they certainly do not announce when we get fired.

You know who the top officials are. They work the tournament every season. I also find it interesting you do not hear a lot of talk about mistakes during the NCAA Tournaments.
