I don't think so. I think NBA officials generally work 2 to 3 nights per week. There are 30 teams, I think. So there is a maximum of 15 games in one night. That's 45 officials, meaning that at least 18 officials are off on any given night.

No, they do not. The average NBA official works 50+ games a year.

The NCAA does not have to make officials employees to limit the number of games they work. If they decide that's what they want to do, all they have to do is tell the supervisors, "No official may be assigned more than 4 times a week." They are independent contractors which means you do not have to assign them if you do not want to, or if you're told not to.

Let's say Mr. "Big-Time" referee works 3 conferences Pac-10, Mtn West/WAC, Big 12. Pac-10 assignor gives the referee 2 games in one week, Mtn West/WAC assignor gives the referee another 3 games that week as well, and Big 12 assignor gives the referee 1 game that week. According to your plan, the assignor did not give more than 4 games to that referee. The problem is that assignors only care about the conference they assign and they want the best officials on their games; assignors don't worry about what the other assignors give the same referee as long as that referee can work the game for the assignor or not. |

Most supervisors do not assign each official that many days in a week in the first place. Unless you work for Dale Kelley, chances are the officials that work a lot of games work for multiple people at multiple times. They would all have to get together and regulate such a thing and once again put themselves in a kind of legal quandary that took place with an organization in my area. There was a local association that tried to tell people who to work for and when to work for them and ended up owing the government a lot of money because they violated some independent contractor laws without compensation to the membership.

As others have stated they average about 3 games a week. Plus they take a 2-week vacation during the season.

Absolutely not. But that's not really the question. The question is, "Do coaches want and accept him, even knowing that he might be tired?" The answer is obviously "YES". He's probably better when he's tired than I am when I'm fresh.
If people want to pay him for his services, then he should be allowed to accept the assignments. |
