"Maybe Ohio should trust their officials more than they do."


It is not a matter of trust. It is a matter of getting it right. Several years ago in a state final game a referee enforced a penalty wrong. The coach asked for a conference to review the enforcement. To make a long story short the rule book was not consulted because none was available. The crew got it wrong. The penalized team lost the game. When the coach found out the he was correct, he complained to the OHSAA and blamed the lose on that wrong enforcement.
This was some thing that could have been prevented just by having the rule book available.
I have never had to refer to the book during a conference, but it is nice to know that we have it available just in case. After all it is our job to get things right.
