[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love all the critics of the officials. I bet not a single one of you has stepped up to do the training for stroke and turn, done that for a couple of years, followed by starter training. Very easy to critique while you sit on your butt in the shade. It is not as easy as it looks to decide whether to stand them up or proceed. As a starter you feel some pressure to prevent the false start even if it’s the kids’ fault for not being set. Some mics and buttons are also more sensitive than others so it can be tricky to get a feel for them if it’s not your home equipment. Never mind the extra noise before the start. Like everything else in life there is more to it than what it looks like from the outside.

And no I don’t want to hear about how you volunteer many hours in some other job. No one cares. There are few roles that have such a direct effect on the swimmers. Officiating is a thankless job. Good luck finding people to do it if all you’re going to do is complain. This will set the Olympic Trials and people are human.

Well said. Trashing volunteers is classless. [/quote]
