ITA with this. For the AAA teams, there was no announcements of lineups, much less goals and subs, at any of the games played at Baylor. IMO, if the most rural, under-resourced public schools in TN can pull together the equipment and personnel to announce starting lineups at regular season non-conference games, then certainly Baylor(!!) should be able to offer that as a minimum. I don't expect goal scorers' and subs' names to be announced generally, but it is the state tournament...and if a rationale for keeping the tourney in the Chatt is so that it feels different and more special than a typical travel tournament, announcement of these would further contribute to that differentiation. There was announcement of the starting lineups at GPS for the finals, so that was an improvement.
Now the officiating...wow. My concern wasn't that the officials seemed biased in any way-they really didn't. However, the officiating was so very inconsistent. Not only between games but also between the center ref and the linesmen in the same game! There was a particularly poor call in the AAA final that was a real game changer...even the TSSAAnetwork.com announcers seemed fairly horrified by it.
Now, to be fair, I realize the refs are a) essentially volunteers doing a very difficult job very likely reffing in addition to their 'real' job that pays an actual living wage, thus not reffing full time and c) doing the best they can with what they have been given from TSSAA - so I am not criticizing the referees themselves. It just appeared as if they were given conflicting instructions, e.g., let all but the most egregious fouls go (in QFs) vs call everything no matter what (finals). And, as has already been pointed out, it doesn't matter if the tourney is in Memphis, Murfreesboro, or Chattanooga, there will always be officiating issues.
