Suggesting coaches officiate? Highly frowned upon by the OHSAA to have non licensed officials doing member school games, even at junior high level. It was ok in the past, but not anymore, especially with the mandated concussion protocol and sudden cardiac arrest training.
Doing the right thing is rarely easy.

Great Man
I am a parent and I appreciate all the officals do. I do not complain because I believe that the officals are doing the best they can

I believe there is a liability concern with having non-licensed officials doing a game.Frank Reagan wrote: ↑Sun Oct 14, 2018 11:25 am Suggesting coaches officiate?

This is spot on more than anything else . . , the sad part is the amount of fans, players and parents that have NO clue what kind of time the vast majority of officials put into the avocation they love only to be told by the bleacher "experts" they don't know anythingthebarlowbandit wrote: ↑Sun Oct 14, 2018 9:16 amMoney grabbing?
