Ref for State Tournament

[Sidetrain]

Sorry but those could not be the best that the State of Tennessee has at the high school level. Who votes on this. Should it not be the coaches and admin?

 

I always felt that the refs that do our state championships are the best we have to offer.

 

So how do they get this job?

 

And NO I would not do it. They do not pay enough to take the stuff they take night in night out. But they need to be the BEST

It is my understanding that each local association sends one official to the girls tourney and one to the boys tourney. That does not mean that the ones sent to the state tourney are the best. There are alot of factors, too many to mention, including politics.

If those refs were the best, what does that say about the rest of the refs?? /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> The woman ref was pathetic. The other two weren't much better. I have enjoyed chatting with eering and melton this year. Maybe, they should have been the refs??

All I know is the one that was sent from NW TN - Ronald Ward is one of the best we have up here. Made a great call in AAA championship game as TV confirmed shot at the end of regulation was after time expired. Sure he blew some too but he was one of the best of the week no doubt.

 

The gentleman who called the GC game and the AA championship is an absolute disgrace to the profession. Not saying anything about who won or loss, but he was the most inconsistent of the week. This system also needs to be reviewed because for some reason we are not getting the best refs at the state tournament. I can't wait until next week to see if the boys is any better.

I do know that there is a different test that you have to take as a ref to be able to do state tournament games-- different from the regular referee test. But if all of the refs throughout the year were being watched and judged and their jobs depended on it, as did their chance to be able to ref the state games, maybe we would see better officiating throughout the year as well. And yes, the reffing during the GC game did not lose the game but it changed the momentum so as to place it in the hands of Marshall and also drew way too much attention to that idiot ref. It was ridiculous!
