Are you serious? Do you really mean that some conference officials are ignoring direct requests from their supervisors to STFU a little? And instead of the supervisors confronting their problem and getting their officials to tone down their rhetoric a l'il bit, they're gonna change mechanics(again) instead?

Whatever happened to all of the idealistic justification when they implemented the calling official staying table-side? You know...the goal of increased and better communication resulting in coaches and officials running hand-in-hand together through a flower-strewn meadow? That's all gonna be dead now?

Methinks it might be a management problem instead of a mechanics problem.

JMHO.
