The Officials Quarterly from this quarter that is published by the Federation had an article about "top dow" recruiting. This means finding officials in other sports and asking them if they are interested in doing something else. Ex. A basketball only official also working football, or a baseball umpire adding basketball. The idea is that they have experience with some of the intangibles, communciation, mechanics, and rule book lingo. Stuff inexperienced officials struggle learning.
