re: LHSAA basketball officials have voted for an immediate work stoppage

I heard Baton Rouge officials still haven't agreed to work yet. There's suppose to be another meeting tonight. Did I hear incorrectly?

Maybe we can give all the coaches a raise instead.

One official over the course of a basketball season earnes almost twice as much as a head coach. They don't have to practice, watch film, wash uniforms, etc., they just go to a couple of clinics and show up to a game and call. Until they are made to show up every weekend and critique the games they called (yes, have each game videoed) so they can learn just as the kids and coaches do, I will never vote again to give them a raise. They make $100 a night for about 3 to 4 hrs of work. What job do you know that pays $25 per hr. I'm sick and tired of hearing how hard it is, I know it is hard, so get your butts in position by hustling up and down the floor, quit having rabbit ears to everything that is said and call the game the way it is supposed to be called...AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT!

Someone needs to ask this clueless dick his opinion on the renegeing of the $3/yr raises that were promised last time around.

If that's his attitude, perhaps the guys in that association should scratch his team.
