The female official was absolutely awful

Wow! That is hard to believe. Must have been painful to watch.

 

It was really astounding. Touch fouls galore. If a defender got within 6 feet of a ballhandler she would start a 5 second count. Gave the ball to the wrong team on out of bounds more than once. Terrible, terrible calls on blocks/charges.

 

I've seen some really bad officiating over the years in Metro but I really think she was one of the worst.

I thought the A championship game was well officiated. Yes there was a female on the crew.

The worse officiated game was Riverdale AAA semifinal.

 

One point that you have reminded me of: I have seen some very good female officials. I don't mean to lump them all in together. This particular one was really bad.

Many fans have never 'worked' a game, but still know good or bad officiating when they see it.

Maybe fans that follow the rule changes would know; however when you still have fans chirping about "over and back" and dont know the rule was changed many years back? Or they dont know that the defender CAN be moving and still draw a "charge" call? Its the smaller nuances of the game that makes a fan "know" the game-not because they played 2 decades ago or they have watched 35 games for 4 seasons as their son/daughter played for their school.

Agreed. BUT, there is a disturbing number of people running around with TSSAA patches on their striped shirt that don't know either. For the record, I saw both females in the state during the regular season and they did a better job than most.

An official can know rules. Anyone can. To call a technical foul on a coach for saying "that's a foul" while standing in the coach's box in the fourth quarter of a state championship game proves that a lot of people know rules but they don't know the game.

Overall, the quality of officiating has deteriorated significantly through the years. The TSSAA has a real problem and they seem indifferent to even make an attempt to solve it. There are to many referees that have a worse attitude as some of the players. The coaches have absoulutely NO input on the development of the officials, it is left strictly up to supervisors. The fact coaches cannot rate an official on anything is unimaginable but is only typical of the TSSAA and the way they operate. For the coaches to not have any imput into the officials, is taking a vital part of the game and saying we (TSSAA)know more than the coaches, which is ridiculous. By the way, the woman in question is the wife of a well known superviser of officials and has only been officiating about 3-4 years, for the record.

i was at shelbyviille girls camp this year when new refs were getting evaluated. maybe need to bring in older refs in periodically with simalar setting for training and evaulation. also noticed at many summer tournments refs tend get fustrated with specators and want to eject them with little cause??

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
