Case in point the game Welmer got hurt, it was clear that the Coach Izzo and Coach Self did not get on the senior of the officials about much of anything. If you do not give newer guys a chance, you will get the same officials over and over again. You are not giving the supervisors any incentive to use other officials.

Great post. You could not have made a better post that makes sense.

The thing is when Knight was coaching, there would be officials that work 5-6 games a week work his games. At that time he could stop, it a least for himself, and his team, by tell the assignor what he wanted. And for some reason he did not stop it.

Ah, but Bobby wouldn't have wanted it that way. He would have wanted Welmer, Higgins, Hightower, et al to be on his games and not the other less important games.

there really seems to be the same officials out there who do the games over and over again. Get some new blood in and yes there should be a limit of the number of games. 4 a week should be max.



----but yeah Knight is an idiot. I actually like Lavin better than him on tv.

Then you are going to have to hire officials and make them employees (Heath Insurance other benefits) which would cost the schools much more money than it does now. I personally do not care either way other than the new blood part, but then that means they would have to commit more to a larger staff. I do not see that happening.
