For those critics who would like to become an official all you have to do is submit your information to KHSAA, pay your fees and take your test. Good luck.

This is part of the problem, anybody can take the test and pass it. Dont let anyone kid you, officials get paid well for what time and effort most put into it. In the 13th region, the majority of officials have no clue about the game they are calling. They are the only ones who can make calls and never be held accountable. Most are more worried about what is going on in the stands rather than doing their job. God forbid someone yell out of the stands about a missed call, they may draw the ire of the "Perfect" Official calling that contest. I have heard basketball officials in the 13th stand and tell coaches and fans they dont miss or make bad calls. Really?
