Are Texas Officials Really The Best?

There seems to be some discussion around America about which state has the best officials--and I think the resounding answer is TEXAS!

Here are some of the reasons that Texas officials are the best:

1. We have hundreds of officials in Texas and very very few complaints.

2. We have the best Chair Academy for officials in the nation.

3. We have the most number of officials schools of any section in America and thus, are the best trained officials.

4. Other than a few minor spats here and there, we get along really well with each other.

5. We are a group of officials open to innovation and change. Just look at all the changes that have instituted in the last three years.

6. We just know we are the best and glad of it...

Unlike some officials from states north of the Red River, we are not given to insulting players, fans, and parents and are certainly not given to taking each other to court...

Pictured below is a photograph of what some might rightly say are the Three Stooges at birth. I guess we would have to go north of the Red River to discover the truth.

Nice joke.

So good to read that your officials are the best because you say so,

and from your blog commentators,
the joy of bashing ad hominem the

perceived foibles of there lesser

bretheren.

What is a good official? Who decides?

Must be the payer.

After seeing some of the Texas officials that were picked to work the US Open last year, you may want to rethink your position. But then again, having worked with officials from California and Florida, most of which have egos ten times the size of a Stetson, you may actually be onto something.

After watching some of the debacles which occurred at the NCAAs this year, I definitely know some of those "experienced" officials need a lot of work. Just ask some of the players on what they felt about the officiating and you can draw your own conclusion.
