^^Thank you sir.

I've been to several games in the 8th region and really feel sorry for whatever region gets this bunch

 

You have obviously not seen 13th region officials!

I believe typically the 9th and 16th have swapped. At least it has been that way the last few years.

 

Personally, the 16th can keep their crews. Watching them call games made me appreciate what we have here in the 9th.

These prove that no matter where you officiate you're going to have detractors. It's a universal truth.

Personally I think the 10th Region has some of the best.

I would take one 13th official calling a regional title game over three 14th officials calling a panorama.

I disagree, I have watched 8-10 games with 10th region refs and they were not good at all. Matter a fact, maybe as bad as I have watched ever, overall.

8th region guys are pretty solid, if Im not mistaken they call most of the state tourney finals! I know at least 6-8 guys that call college basektball.

I would prefer to see the 3 refs doing a game from 3 different regions instead of the swap. I do like the concept but I would tweak it.

 

For example a 9th Region game ref crew consisting of a 5th, 7th and 11th ref.

That would never fly for financial reasons. The state is not going to pay mileage for 3 different refs from 3 different regions for 1 game. Plus, it is much better to have refs working together who have worked with each other all year long.

I totally agree, the 16th is just about as bad as you can get.

I must say after playing in the 3rd, 8th, 9th, 12th, 15th, and 16th regions in the last couple years, it sure does make you appreciate the officials in the 10th region. Not all of them are great, but when you compare 10th region officials to other regions officials, the 10th is by far much better.

In the last 8 years, Coldiron has called 2 finals and he is probably the best to come out of the 8th region in 15 years. Howell also called the finals a couple of years ago, and he did do a good job...that night. Respectfully and IMO, the 8th region is one of the weakest when it comes to officiating....if there's 6 to 8 calling college games, their schedule must full for those games because I haven't seen them at high school games!

Don't forget about Sandlin, I believe he has officiated both boys and girls state tournaments.

Can't believe I forgot about him....especially after seeing his summer haircut :lol:
