One thing I want to mention in regard to my previous posts in this thread: I think that the referees in Michigan do an outstanding job. I've watched the videos of a lot of matches from Southfield and I must say that Gary Voshol and his crew did a lot better job than I would've done. There were a few match videos that I watched that I was actually shocked at how well they did given the events of the match.
My issue is that the game this year and the current setup are flawed. Individuals are rarely to blame when errors begin to arise - you have to ask
the 5 whys and figure out the real cause. It's almost always a systemic reason.
There were a number of great suggestions in this thread. I hope that some are implemented.
