In the midst of
this pretty sad story, I was intrigued by this:
Quote:
Reports from the previous week's game and about the upcoming teams are reviewed. A rules test also is administered.
A devotional breakfast and another meeting precedes Sunday's kickoff. Afterward, all officials are given a DVD of the game to review on their way home. Another DVD follows Tuesday featuring select plays teams submitted from coaching tapes that provide different camera angles on questionable rulings. A graded report from Pereira's office follows Wednesday. Officials also must complete a weekly 100-question take-home test and maintain the physical fitness needed to cover the field.

My God, do you know how much better we' d be (us high school officials) if we could see DVDs of all of our games and have multiple replays and a graded report by someone whose job it was to do that?
I fully realize that no state has the resources to make that happen, nor do we probably have the time to take in all that feedback. I was just thinking, "Man, we would be so much better prepared and effective if we had just 1/10th of that."
