Can’t say I have seen it directly, I know it has happened in the past. I am sure it is due strictly to the severe shortage of officials in all sports.
I've seen it 3 times now....and let me say that it is atrocious to say the least. I know there is a shortage but you can't have a JV official officiating a varsity...
A lot of upcoming officials (new) work a combination of JV and Varsity. Matter of fact I know some veteran officials that will work JV games on a slow night.
Key word is "JV officials" working varsity games. Have no problem Varsity officials working JV games on a slow night.....JV officials are learning and have no reason to work 3 games in one day or Varsity games....
Which reply do you want from the booking agent?
1. “Coach, we need to cancel the Jv games because we have no officials.”
2. “Coach, we need to cancel the varsity games because we would have to use a Jv offical or two.”
3. “Coach, you need to move your games to Monday-Thursday, due to our lack of officials.”
4. “Sorry coach, I will continue to do the best I can, but due to low pay and increasing abuse of our officials our pool of quality officials is shrinking.”
You condem their solution but offer no others.
