People wonder why the level of officiating is not what it should be. It is because officiating is not seem as a very valuable vocation. In some respects the officials have a greater impact on the game than many players who seldom or sparingly see the floor. To be an elite official requires a combination of skills most unfortunately do not possess because people do not recognize that fact. There for the field is flooded with people who do not really possess the skills that are actually required.

The fact that a comparison was even made in respect to the WNBA players and the NBA officials speaks to the low level of skill that most people believe is necessary to be an official. Yes lets just pull some fans out of the stands and let them call fouls. Unfortunately that was the actual start of officiating. And because of that the level of Athletic talent on the floor had outrun the officials who are task with regulating them. Officiating should be a highly paid vocation with a high selectivity in applicants and then the quality would increase.
