Basketball is the worst for politics. Football (IHSA) is most guys are 60 with 30+ years in, but I think coaches have more control on who they see on their games than other sports.

There are more basketball officials than any other sport.

There are fewer slots available per game for officials.

I think Back in the Saddle hit the nail on the head. People use "politics" as an excuse because people are not willing to work within the system.
