Bureaucrat in action

Augusta County schools have decided to change the group of referees they use for basketball starting next season.
The head of the current referee group needs to catch up with the times.
His group was down to the minimum number of schools to be a sanctioned referee organization before losing the five Augusta county schools.
Did he work hard to build the group back up?
No.
He whined about having to bid for the job.
He tried to work around the bid system the schools set.
He failed to submit a bid on time.
Now that the bid is gone, he's trying to strong-arm his refs to stay with him.
"We hope all our guys will support and stand by the VOBA, and I hope not one shows up," Spears said. "If they do, then that's their choice. What they have to realize is that the dance ain't over. You might want to dance there tonight, but next year the dance might be back over here."
It's hard to learn sportsmanship from this referee. Maybe some lessons about the real world.
