    Episode 45 - Host commentary - The positives of officiating - The High School Basketball Referee with Mark Froelich

    Hi! This is host Mark Froelich. There has been an increased media narrative of the negative aspects of officiating: Lack of officials, verbal abuse, physical abuse, low wages. There are issues, no question. But here's a question: Could it be that a POSITIVE focus about sports officiating would generate more officials? Officiating offers multiple opportunities to help young and older individuals with personal and professional growth. Email me your thoughts at markfroelich@hotmail.com I hope you're having a great off-season!
