The State Of Officiating

[Tim Roden]

Retention of officials is of concern to assignors and coaches. They are the main reason why many officials quit. They feel they are not a "Good ol' boy" and won't be picked by an assignor or they feel like coaches ride them too much so they quit. So adding them to the discussion is benificial. The assignors need good retention so they have a steady crop of upcoming officials to work into games. The coaches need it so they don't have to continually adjust to new officials. They know what they are getting when Mr. X calls their game.
