I just want to be able to watch a game with a little bit of pace to it. A game where there aren't arguments and debates after every call.
I don't expect the regular refs to be perfect. There will always be controversies. I just want a set of officials that have proven they can keep up with the game and know the rules.
I think some of the replacement refs did fine, and if they had been blended in with an experienced crew and given guidance and time to grow, they may have been able to have a career. But with them accepting to be put into that position it was too much for almost any crew to handle.
