I have been playing, coaching and watching football for many years. I was shocked at the incompetence of the game officials during Saturday's game with Catawba. I never complain of the judgement calls of officials. Everyone just does not react to situations in the same manner, that is understandable.
However, the time spent talking to each other after every penalty was very disturbing. I was even more upset with the lack of hustle with the referee when he made the calls known to the pressbox. He was slow, and ambiguous in his calls. The players were standing around waiting for the referee and his cohorts throughout the game. In my mind the game was a lengthy one because of the officials lack of urgency and pace.
Who appointed these guys?
Can we get their names?
Can we write to the SoCon?

I sent a clear and somewhat lengthy complaint to the SoCon Commissioner and his two assistants last spring regarding officiating in basketball. Our game against Elon in Burlington resulted in NOT A SINGLE Foul called against Elon. Meanwhile there were 21 fouls called on us resulting in 17 points for Elon. I received the following, curt response: "Thank you for your concerns. All our games are reviewed by an evaluator who is a former Final Four official, and coaches add their input."
In other words, don't expect to hear groundbreaking news that they will call in the crew or they are constantly improving and adding newer, better officials or doing anything about training.

I agree, officials will always make calls we don't totally agree with but the professionalism of this group was sorely lacking, now not making excuses but because we were playing a DII opponent we probably got the team with the least experience and there always is one. But again don't agree with every call but they did not show that they should be officiating at this level or even the level below us.
