Line judges

[Back In The Saddle]

I'll let you know after my first matches on Tuesday if Utah uses them. But I think they do.

Michigan has it required. Home team is responsible for providing them. No line judges, no match.

With that said, it frustrates me that they put players on the lines. Some are good, but most barely pay attention or don't want to even be there, and it shows. The best line judges end up doing the JV matches (varsity players) and the worst (JV players) call the lines during the varsity matches - when they're needed the most.

I much prefer the home team to pay a specific pair of trained line judges that will do their games the whole year. Those kind of people are consistent and teachable!
