PODCAST (SUBSCRIBE TO OUR RSS FEED, THE KIDS HAVE TO EAT)

I've been coaching for over 20 years, heard all of the whining and complaining and done some myself. The simple truth of the matter is, most officials start with two strikes against them. The average fan, player and sometimes coach, wants to blame the officiating for everything. Doesn't really matter how proficient one is, any missed call or questionable call and even good calls are going to be met with harsh criticism. Sure, there are some that are better than others, but what they put up with night in and night out, isn't really worth it. 
No system and no amount of money would "fix the problem," so to speak. The simple truth is, people are always going to complain about officials, regardless of how good or bad of a job they do. Overall, I would have to say, that if I was handing out grades for officiating, I would rarely give below a B.
Considering travel time, the B.S. that they have to put up with and the fact that they do a thankless job, it is a job that most would not want to consider, for that reason, my criticism is minimal and more constructive than abusive. Maybe I am getting more mellow as I get older, maybe I am more wise, regardless, my overall, long term on court impression of the AOA is positive.
Not sure about how things are ran from an internal perspective, but I can't think of too many instances in which an official could properly be deemed "incompetent," or "unprofessional." 
What many consider incompetency is sometimes just inexperience.
The next time you hear someone complain about the quality of offciating, tell them to go sign up and fix the problem.

Now that Darrell Taylor has stepped down, who will be taking the job at Castlewood? Hate to see Taylor go, he is one of the good guys, hard working, old school mentality, great work ethic.
I've heard that a former coach may be in line to come back, thoughts?
