District 8AAA REFEREES

[UCSportsFan]

I’d be afraid I would lower my percentage of making the right call. So far from the stands made every call correctly lol.

We have an occasional bad one but overall officiating has been ok

You must have had a South Central officiating crew. They are really bad at letting the players decide the outcome of the game.

South Central has become an absolute joke of an association. The game has passed most of those guys by. Not nearly enough young blood in that group of referees.

You are speaking on south central. It's embarrassing to watch. I will say they didn't call in favor of the other team it just they are that incompetent. They are the worst in the entire southeast of the United States. They sent a guy to the state tournament last year and he had 36 fouls called in one game. 

 

Everyone wants to talk about join TSSAA,.. how about stop allowing any and everybody to join because that is exactly what South Central does and you still can't make chicken salad out of chicken turds. There needs to be legitimate training and classroom sessions for new refs. Stop putting them on big time games until they prove they are ready.  The old guys need to be pushed out because they are way too soft when it comes to taking stuff from coaches. 

Update their court mechanics instead of looking like robots out there and understand basketball is indeed a contact sport. 

 

TSSAA has a big issue when it comes to South Central Association and something needs and must be done. They are an embarrassment to the state and the game of basketball.

Agree with a lot of your points. There is a big need for proper training of officials. There needs to be some entity that takes this project on. It would be a worthwhile endeavor. It's tough because shortages don't allow you to be picky. But I know for a fact, some of those officials have never even played basketball before. There has to be some form of fundamental, baseline knowledge to officiate.

Its obvious majority of those cats have never played. I've seen games where they have given a delay of game for players dapping each other up after a free throw. Watching these state tournament games this week I see its an issue across the state.
