jahearme Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Tim O'Hara is working the Marion/Anderson semi this morning. I would expect to see him reffing the championship unless NDA is in it. Won't happen. Semi final and finals officials are decided Friday night. Or at least that's how it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahearme Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 16th Region had two officials. That being Chris Allen and Randy Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Won't happen. Semi final and finals officials are decided Friday night. Or at least that's how it used to be. How can they decide what officials are working the finals without knowing what teams will be in it? You can't have, say, a 9th region official working if NDA is in the finals, correct?

You can't have, say, a 9th region official working if NDA is in the finals, correct? Basically after play is complete Friday night, those officials who represent the teams left are scratched. The officials selected to work semis and final are taken from the remaining officials. Not saying I agree with the process but that's how it's done. I know who the officials are for the Finals. Will post closer to tip-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt you know jahearme-but O'Hara is a 9th region guy and a team from the 9th NDA is still alive and yet he is doing the other semifinal game so that doesn't jibe with what you just posted.

jahearme Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 The officials for tonight's Championship game are Staci Music (10th/11th Region), Randy Taylor (16th Region) and Judy Dyehouse (12th Region). Congrats to these folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. Maybe things have changed because they needed to be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach1990 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Judy Dyehouse (12th Region) wow this lady gets the finals what a shame. I would think the State would want the best officials however that is not the case. It's a shame that teams work the butt off to get to sweet sixteen and official associations send play politics and send bad officials like this lady. Guess it's a good thing this game wasn't really close so she didn't try and take over the game like she likes too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinks, he's been good for a long time and missed out on two opportunities to get to be in the Final. Good for NKY teams, bad for Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't at the game, but I've talked to 3 people that were and they had nothing but positive things to say about the officiating during the Championship game. Also realize this; those officials recommended for the Sweet 16 are approved by the KHSAA. Regions don't just send folks they'd like to see work. They send a list to the KHSAA office and the KHSAA makes the final call. Just an FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse James Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 jahearme they have a pretty good complaint......for a while I wondered if she was just trying to make the big screen.....referees should get the big game if they are the best ref, not anything to do with gender.....

Out of 15 games I can probably think of 2-3 instances where I thought there was a bad call. Didn't Dyehouse do the championship game last year as well?

Totally agree, but there are some political organizations out there that are pretty powerful. I'll just leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retropop Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) I wasn't at the game, but I've talked to 3 people that were and they had nothing but positive things to say about the officiating during the Championship game. Also realize this; those officials recommended for the Sweet 16 are approved by the KHSAA. Regions don't just send folks they'd like to see work. They send a list to the KHSAA office and the KHSAA makes the final call. Just an FYI. Not saying that it was a greatly officiated tourney, but it seemed better than average compared to the last few. A well officiated game is one in which you don't really notice the officials or their calls. Now that it is a pretty humble way to approach the job tasks, I guess, but when referrees go relatively unnoticed, they are conducting their responsibilities in a way that facilitates a very smooth-flowing and consistant game that allows the players to play the game - not the officials calling the game. It's not good when a ref wants to "be the show," which we've all witnessed sometime, and certainly is not the reason fans pay the price of admission.
