1st & 25 Podcast
Episode 11: Professionalism and integrity
Criticizing officials’ calls is one thing, questioning their integrity is another
On the 1st & 25 podcast, we start with the scathing postgame comments by Utah athletic director Mark Harlan in which he criticizes the professionalism of the officiating crew. We also talk about a “unicorn in officiating,” the foul for assisting the runner. And, it’s that time of year. Before the pros and the colleges determine their champions, before bowl season, its state playoff time and Thanksgiving rivalry games at the high school level. We discuss the experience of working postseason and how some states assign their officials.
Ben Austro, Cam Filipe, Chris Seubert, and Pat Weber have this week’s discussion.
