Portland has a tremendously out-dated "good old boys" system - I know quite a few people who work for the PBOA and every one of them would agree with that statement, even the ones who have benefitted from it and worked tournaments and championship games... As for Melodee, Delores, and Lee Ann - they deserved to be there. Not because of their gender, but because of their ability. |

There's a young guy who moved to the Portland Area last year. He's already working the top games and will likely get enough exposure in 1-3 more years to get a tourney slot....all before he's 25 and all fully deserved....certainly not the evidence of a "good old boys" system.

That said, I recognize that this is in many ways a factor of my own race. I'm not forced to deal with it on a daily basis, and only have to deal with it on an abstract-let's-talk-about-it basis; and then only when I want to. I was only giving my perspective, as little worth as it has to most.

[QUOTE=jmaellis]Just as the inmates shouldn't pick their jailers, the coaches should have little, if any, say in who officiates.[/QUOTE]
I agree 100%. In our state, they may request that an official not work their games or gym, but they better have a good reason and tape to back it up. If not, too bad. |

There are hundreds of officials in each state that would do themselves and their associations proud and aren't given the chance on the big stage. When I rule the world, people will get to go once per lifetime. |

These officials are being rewarded for figuring out who's azz they had to kiss to get there. That is where the difference lies, imo. It's these same ole assigners that keep putting these people into these games year after year after year. You can bet next year it will be the same people again. My idea of term limits for the assigners is what is truly needed. We need more transistion in the ranks of the individuals that are tasked to assign these games. It's that simple.... Rainmaker, in your system that looks for officials that didn't work last year. What do they do with the officials that did work, the senior tournament guys? |

well sort of :)

The kids deserve the very best officials, not someone who's turn it is IMHO
