Message: [QUOTE="ThisJustIn, post: 4253652, member: 382"] Couple of thoughts on officiating (It's been a while, so things may have changed. HA!): [LIST=1] [*]Points of emphasis are decided by the ADs, coaches etc. on the Rules Committee. [*]They are then sent to the conferences/teams as well as the refs (independent contractors) who study them. [*]Each individual "Officials coordinator" to supervise the various officiating crews to make sure they "follow" the PoE. Understandably, each coordinator has their own interpretation. They also have limited time/money/resources to support the profess. dev. of the officials (See: "What's their budget" and "Independent Contractors." [*]Officials review/eval game tape (DVD/Stream) as do Coordinators, and then give feedback [*]Coaches/staff report to the Coordinator on officials. [*]The NCAA does NOT supervise the officials UNTIL the NCAA tourney. They pick the officials from a pool recommended by coaches. [*]Once the officials have been selected, they get a "review of the PoE etc. etc." [*]After every weekend, crews are reviewed. They move on or don't. [*]Not sure about how the crews are created - folks who've worked together or not, folks who've worked in different conferences (and so, under diff Coordinators with diff interpretations of rules/goals for the overall flow of the game) [/LIST] Not intended to change anyone's opinions. Just a little background. [/QUOTE]
