No more conference officiating crews
Posted: Mon Jul 20, 2009 9:36 pmHeard an interview tonight with the supervisor of officials for the Mountain West Conference and that barely-conscious simpleton, Brian Esteridge of Froggy High radio.
Seems the days of conference officiating crews are over. Instead, Conference USA, the Mountain West and the WAC have teamed up and formed regional officials crews. He said we'll never see the same officials twice in one season, and coaches and fans no longer can scream about favoritism for one conference or another.
He also said officials are going to be more strict about policing players who use the crown of their helmets to "punish" defenseless players, and penalizing players who taunt opponents, dive into the end zone or perform premeditated, orchestrated or demeaning celebrations after scores and other big plays.
