Step in the right direction

This thread is a step in the right direction too...back to discussing sports!

:30 seconds is great, time to improve the officiating as well. I don't ever want to see Jim Burr on the court again!

Has coach Rat face OK'd this? Until then it means nothing.

Are NCAA refs really not full time?

Which one? I can think of three... two of which were in the national championship game.

Correct. None of them are full time refs, and the NCAA doesn't employ refs. I'm not sure if it is that way for football either. But I did the math one time, working 5 games a week worked out to something like $60-80k for a 'part time' job. Its why there isn't a lot of young blood in it, none of the old timers want to give up that kinda cash.
