"...there are officials that have been calling their first year for the past 25 years,..."
From that referee thread...
This was so funny when I first read it.
Now?
Not so much.
IMHO,
this is the problem with experience on paper.
The same as above could be said
of some teachers, coaches, machinist, pumpers etc.
It's what a person does
with their experience, training, and abilities
that matters.
For example,
I know a place where
there's approx 50 cumulative yrs paper experience,
(not counting me),
and we just started workin' out.
It's April for goodness sake
and we're starting an exercise program?
Ugh! Better late than never I suppose.
Silly ol' newby me suggested we start back in Aug./2adayz
But the experienced said learn to run plays/strategy etc. first.
Kids were never in shape to run much of anything.
Sad.
jus sayin'.
