Do people realize how ridiculous this way of thinking is? Apply this theory to a D1 game and have an ugly situation every game where you "just get it right." Right or wrong, you will be fired.

I am pretty sure we are talking about an NCAA game in the OP, or did the PAC 10 drop down to Div II this year and I didn't catch it.....getting it right is the most important thing in the game...yes if you have several games that have ugly situations that you just have to "get right" you may not work as many next year....but if a situation comes up, and you Don't get it right, it is my guess that is more likely to get you fired than getting it right.....

Since we agree that you will get fired, or at least get less games, we should be able to agree that saying that in the middle of March is ridiculous.

Who do you know of that goes out to officiate a game and doesn't intend on getting calls right? How about an official who has another agenda besides getting calls right? Since we know that they want to get calls right, why say that is all that matters like it is a revelation?

nope we don't agree....I said if it happens several times....1 time with an ugly situation won't get you fired. There was an ugly situation earlier this year in a particular MWC game...New Mexico - Wyoming....very ugly, they may or may not have actually gotten everything correct.....I see that the R in that game hasn't worked yet in the MWC tournament....Nope he didn't get fired, he is too busy working the Big 12 tournament.....hmmmmmmmmmmmm

There's another factor to consider: how many years you've been in "the league." A guy who has been working in the league for 25 years and is one of the assigner's studs, in other words somebody with a long history of generally getting stuff right, will generally survive a screw up with far less consequence than a guy who's been in the league for 3 years and generally has a U somewhere in his job description.
