Every February this comes up as an issue. Top tier officials are working 6 nights a week all over the country and cannot keep up with the game.

Then the following summer these same officials get assigned 6 nights a week all over the country because...wait for it... because the coaches ask for them.

Puh-leeze. If these multimillion dollar a year coaches don't want to see the overworked top tier officials night after night then they could make that happen.

But they don't.

But that doesn't stop them from b1tching every February, does it?
