OT: Officiating question

[Mr_Twister]

Are game officials (refs) prohibited from having tattoos, long hair, and facial hair?

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

I think they should focus on eyesight and honesty requirements going forward.

And be able to detect a player who shuffles his feet before putting the ball on the floor.

Nope, but in many ways refereeing is ruled by past traditions.

I don't care what referees look like as long as they get the call right.

I don't think so. But their official rule book most likely states they are prohibited from calling a fair game when Rutgers is anybody's opponent.
