Did he expect to get top notch, experienced officials, whose last game was a state high school final last season? If so, then I hope that he was prepared to pay them the same rate as high school varsity officials, which in my little corner of Connecticut, would be $88.84 per game. Officials don't come out of the womb as "ready-to-ref" officials. We all have to start somewhere.

Holy snakeys! That's some real scratch.

I don't make that here, but I hardly have a commute to any of my games either.

You guys in Connecticut and New York need to tell the rest of the country how to get rates like that.

We're still at $60 for most of our games.

We're that 1% that the "Occupy" protesters have been complaining about. You guys are going to get pretty cold sleeping in those tents when winter hits.
