Now that the"great recession" has passed and municipalities are collecting more property taxes to fund the schools, you are going to see more of this type of activity. Teachers salaries have begun to creep up (in Florida anyway) so it should follow that coaches, AD's and officials soon follow suit. It'll be interesting to see how far the LHSAA is willing to push this...No officials for football season? That could get ugly.

Maybe they can get parent volunteers for the games. Parents think they can call the game better than officials anyway.

In an area in which I was officiating basketball, the volleyball officials decided to refuse to work the HS season, if they were not given a pay raise. The HSAA met the challenge to their authority by simply asknig for volunteers from the stands to officiate the games. It wasn't great, but the games/season went on, ant the officials eventually conceeded.

For basketball, if they ever use volunteer parents for officials, a group of officials should attend the game as spectators and, together, chant "Call it both ways" over and over. Also, they should all get up together, hold out a pair of glasses and yell, "Hey ref - you wanna borrow my glasses?"
Oh yeah, don't forget to yell every time they misinterpret a rule. ![]()

Don't know where you're located but THAT would be entertaining to watch.

Though what will likely happen, and we saw as much before in Louisiana, is that enough officials will keep working anyways and undermine the efforts of the others.

If the local associations do not assign games, then the schools are going to have to figure out how to get in touch with the officials who will continue to work. There's a good chance that the associations will kick those officials out if they work.
I wouldn't bet on anything right now. I do know that in Texas, IF (and that's a big if) officials didn't show up to a large number of games on the first Friday night of the season, whatever demands TASO (in this case) had in all sports would be satisfied by 8:00 a.m. Sat. morning. |

Same thing here in Connecticut. No more late night contract negotiations in smoke filled rooms. No more picket lines. No more water cannons.
