Message: [QUOTE="ThisJustIn, post: 2047975, member: 382"] Jess wunderin - do you think that if a SC fan watched it they would see 6 highly questionable calls/no calls? Slow mo, angle all play into what the refs see/don't see. Some thoughtful discussion above about challenges and skill sets needed. Clearly, the issue of officiating is huge across the platforms. They're getting slammed at the pro and college level. The big issue is money. It takes a long time to get to the DI level - and climbing that ladder means hours of travel, stinky pay, and a primary job with lots of flexibility. That being said, I don't know if more training would elevate the skill level or not. It's a thankless job - and just like in teaching, the lack of respect for the position is pushing folks out and/or away. [/QUOTE]
