Iowa high school basketball games postponed due to referee no-show

Also chances are in Iowa that schools assign "crews" that normally work together. So something must have happen either with the contract (wrong date) or he gave them something totally erroneous to not show up. I have dealt in that system of assigning and you would be surprised how many mistakes ADs make in their scheduling. I think he told the media what he did to take the pressure off of himself and tried to make it sound like the officials screwed up. If I have guys texting me the game status yesterday, I am sure he could have done the same or a similar confirmation process.
