Same thing has happened over and over in different leagues as new coordinators have taken over in the last 5 years. Completely standard.



I don't know that your assessment of why Rush was brought in is all to on target either. Seems like you are just conjecturing ... unless you have some kind of insider info.

Just look at what happened in the BIG a few years ago. The entire staff looks very different than it did when the previous guy was in that position. And all I heard for 2 years is officials complaining about the staff and who got left off the staff by fellow officials.

Assume you are talking about the Big 12? Hard to decipher when using "the BIG" and "previous guy"

It is ALWAYS that way when a new coordinator takes over ... When Kelley took over the Metro there was a guy that worked the tournament championship the year before that received ZERO games the next year!!

When a new coordinator comes in everything changes — with the exception of bitching and moaning ... that never changes.

The usage of BIG is often a internet usage to describe the Big 10 because of their logo. Sorry I forget I am dealing in mixed company.

But the situation with the Big 12 also caused some controversy but that supervisor assigned 4 leagues. So there was some people rumbling when he took over. A lot more people were affected by that change than anywhere else I can think of.

That's what I thought at first, but was that change just a couple of years ago? Thought it was longer than that ... but I suppose you are right.

Maybe you should write it as B1G

I'm sure ... some negatively, some positively.

Well people in this part of the country use it often and it is known. So maybe, but probably not.

And yes positively for some. But usually you hear from the people that are slighted more than anything.

I just heard that Ed Rush resigned as coordinator of officials for the Pac-12.

True. It just hit ESPN. It is fully appropriate that he not hold that position anymore after his unprofessional behavior.
