dinubus 2 Report post Posted January 26, 2009 I'm glad to see some support for the reffing. Those that do not like our current refs should make sure they do something about it when they can ... become a ref. Our state can definitely use more refs, and as with everything, the larger the pool of available refs, the more the competition in obtaining jobs as well as officiating and large events like region and state.

Zeus 117 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 Barnett- good every year, what region is he out of?Walls- young but impressed me last yearboth Shaws- in years past they seemed to favor Larue and knock Woodford because of the rivalry but last year I thought did much betterCallen- a very good ref, as well as the other refs from WVFriddle- good every year but never gets mentionedCole and Cattan- both horrible and they try to make themselves a part of each match, no respect for either of themFord- does his best but makes many bad callsSomeone told me the way to judge a ref is if you notice them in a match, especially a close one. If you take notice of them then they're probably not doing a very good job but if after the match you have no idea who the ref was or didn't notice them then they did the best they could. Cole and Cattan seem to take pleasure in having the focus on them when it should be the other way around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger123 43 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 I've seen Ford a couple times this year and I think he is much improved. I think Friddle is influenced by the coaches a little too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
119Rider 61 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 I've done a couple college tourneys out here and let me be the first to say I respect them more now than I did when I coached. It was hard to keep up with the pace at times and at the end of the day I was exhausted. I do believe what pizar says is true though about being noticed. I tried not to be noticed and tried not to screw up, overall I think I did alright. at least there were no arguments from the coaches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
