: This doesn't concern me as much as it does some others in Sun Devil Nation, but Greg Hansen reports this morning that Dave Libbey is leaving Pac-10 officiating to become coordinator of officials for the West Coast Conference.
: If Pac-10 officiating is as bad as many say it is, that just means another lousy official will take his place.
: At the end of the day, it's about the players. If your team is better, you win. Officials can't block shots or rebound, or shoot threes. They do impact the pace of the game, how the game flows, but IMO, they don't decide who wins and loses. Players do.
: Still, Libbey can leave, and take his showboat act with him.
He was the worst official by far. He had the biggest ego of any man I have ever seen. Good riddance to him.
