By Johnny Mack Officials and sports…
PRIOR TO THE 70’S • AUTHORITY TREATED WITH RESPECT • AN UNDERSTANDING ABOUT SPORTS • LESS PRESSURE ON REFS
Today • REFS ARE TREATED WITH LESS RESPECT • EVERYONE THINKS THEY ARE RIGHT • REFS ARE HARDER TO COME BY • HERE IS AN EXAMPLE WHY…
SO WHO ARE THEY? • AVERAGE PERSON WHO USUALLY… • HAS A PASSION FOR THE GAME • NEEDS A PART TIME JOB • WANTS TO STILL BE IN THE GAME • WANTS TO STAY IN SHAPE
WHAT ARE THEIR PURPOSE? • TO PROVIDE SAFETY • TO PROVIDE STRUCTURE • TO OBJECTIVELY APPLY THE RULES OF THE GAME
AFFECT ON THE GAME? • Talking to officials during a game? • Can coaches have an affect? • Can parents? • Can players?
DO OFFICIALS AFFECT THE GAME? South Carolina QB vs. Ref
Are certain sport officials more respected or treated differently than others?
WHY OFFICIATING NUMBERS ARE DECREASING? • NFL player pushes ref after being hit in the eye with a penalty flag • Umpire has to eject the entire crowd following a controversial call • http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-64698119.html • http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090614&content_id=5321588&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp
WHO CAN HELP? • What are things that parents can do? • What are things that players can do? • What are things that coaches can do? • What are things that A.D.’s can do?
OUR JOB AS A.D.’S • Supervision at sporting events • If not then get someone there • Crowd control • Medical emergencies • Take care of officials • Take care of opponent • Building operations • Allows everyone else to do their job
