I saw that too but I figured a guy that acts like that just bought the NCAA shirt because it was the "cool" one to wear.

Just because it is southern California, doesn't mean they are college officials.

The shirt is optional here, I carry one in case that is the only style my partner has.

Exactly. Some people just thing that wearing the next level shirt will make people think they are a better ref. It just might work until you make a call on a pogo stick.

LOL...exactly.

I cringe when I see guys wearing anything other than Fed shirts for h.s. level or lower.

There's a lot to be said for "faking it til you make it", but, that is counterproductive.

You'd hate it here then because the required uniform for varsity is not a "Fed" shirt.

What are "fed" shirts?

We wear gray, or B/W stripes, depending on the decision of the R for the night. I still haven't decided what I'm wearing tonight.

Further, after a season of fighting the battle, the wide panels were allowed as long as everyone matches.

First of all, isn't everyone in Cali an actor/waiter?

To answer the questions at the start of the video:
The crew needs to do a better job ref'ing primaries. In 2-person, the L is responsible for this play. In 3-person the L is responsible. The T had a partially obstructed view of the defender who had started to grow roots he was there for so long.

It really looks like a set up, maybe Joey Crawford was the director?

Around here everyone wears the wide panel shirts. I will take the regular shirt every now and then, but 99 percent of the time it's wide panel.

I am not sure you could tell that guy anything.

My favorite part is when he counts the basket like Indiana Jones swinging his whip.

I don't think I could possibly hate this call and antics any more than I do.

He is out of position (especially in the second video!!) and is WAY over the top with the jumping up and down and signaling.

There are two types of selling — one where you really believe in your product and genuinely think it will help your customer ... and the other is the Shamwow guy.

This referee is the latter.
