Try watching people you love have years of effort taken away by officials that are either inept or outright crooked often enough, maybe it'll make more sense.
We have FAR too many schools (and therefore games*) for the supply of capable officials in Georgia, and it's an aging pool to boot, so there's often years of history between schools/coaches/ officials adding to the mix.
*we've already seen games being moved to Wednesday nights due to a shortage of officials - capable or not - and it doesn't feel like Tuesday night is far from becoming a thing. Which will in turn pretty much destroy 8th, 9th, JV football in terms of both scheduling and officiating. But with around 200 games every Friday night and 6 man crews, the supply simply doesn't come close to meeting demand. The supply of remotely capable officials comes much shorter.
