It doesn't matter what sport it is, the officials will continue to get worse until the KHSAA implements education opportunities and an accountability committee. There needs to be more accountability for the good and bad officiating that goes, and the requirements to become an official are elementary at-best. Officials should be able to move up levels in each sport based-on their ability, experience, and training. Each sport should have it's own training sessions that correspond with the level you are on. Being a good football official doesn't always mean you are a good umpire. This is the only way to make officials accountable and reach the standards that coaches and fans want them to have.
