LOS ANGELES -- Steve Sarkisian is the new head coach at Southern California,
leaving Washington to return to the Trojans.
Tarell Basham Jersey . USC announced
Sarkisians hiring Monday, replacing interim coach Ed Orgeron with yet another
assistant coach from Pete Carrolls championship-winning era at the school. The
39-year-old Sarkisian is a Los Angeles-area native who went 34-29 in five
seasons at Washington, rebuilding a decimated program into a bowl contender.
Sarkisian is the permanent replacement for Lane Kiffin, his former co-offensive
co-ordinator at USC under Carroll. Kiffin was fired in late September and
replaced by Orgeron, who didnt get the permanent job from athletic director Pat
Haden despite going 6-2. Orgeron resigned Monday. Its unclear who will coach the
Trojans in their bowl game later this month, but it could be Sarkisian.

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. Hi Kerry, With a lot of
playoff games this year already going deep into overtime, weve all heard talk
about how no player wants to be the one who makes a mistake prompted by
exhaustion that leads to the game-winning goal. But to what extent does all this
extra play time affect the officials? How much do they feel the physical and
mental fatigue caused by a game heading into its second or third overtime
period, and is this related to the perception - real or imagined - that
officials tend to "swallow their whistles" in OT? Best,Mark Hill Mark: Fatigue
was much more of an issue to contend with in the one referee system when we
chased the play from end to end and didnt get much of an opportunity for a rest.
A refs best friend can be a moving puck. Whenever possible, I attempted to force
players to "move it"! Aside from enhancing the entertaining value of the game
another upside of sustained action was that players gave and received hits with
less likelihood of retaliation and scrums developing. On occasion I wore a heart
monitor and during three to five minute runs without a whistle the readings
would be sustained between 165-175 bpm. By comparison the highest my heart rate
ever got in the two referee system was 98 bpm. There should be no reason (in the
two-ref system) where physical fatigue might negatively impact the decision
making process for an official regardless how many overtime periods are played.
The mental aspect of a referees performance is a whole different kettle of fish!
While players dont want to become the "goat" by making a bad play or mistake,
the referees internal struggle is all about rendering a decision that might be
perceived as a game ending bad call. (You notice I said perceived.) The best
remedy in dealing with this pressure is for the official to maintain a rock
solid focus of concentration by remaining in the moment and react to call
penalties whenever they occur. Once a ref stops refereeing and puts his whistle
away he becomes a spectator instead of an enforcer of the playing rules. Each
referee can feel intense pressure to make sure any call he makes is viewed as a
"must call" in the late stages and overtime. The referees best work is done well
in advance of the late stages of a game by maintaining the expected standard of
enforcement and to keep the players in check throughout the entire game.
Quincy Wilson Colts Jersey. The best
deterrent against infractions being committed is "fear" a ref can instill in
players that he will call the penalty whenever it is committed. When that is
achieved players tend to play much more disciplined. The onus is placed more
squarely on the players not to commit infractions once the referees enforce the
rules more consistently and when expectations are met. I notice a difference in
these playoffs as to which referees the players respond to and those they take
full liberties with. Once the penalty standard slides and obvious infractions
are let go it is extremely difficult for the referee to make a call in the late
stages unless it involves a scoring opportunity, a puck over the glass or a
major infraction. At times such as this the referee crew become spectators and
fly on a wing and a prayer in hopes that the players will not do something
really stupid that might force a call. If the referee chooses to turn his
whistle into a fossil the worst thing he can do is upset the apple cart with a
penalty call that doesnt have a direct bearing on the play or is of less quality
than what he previously has let go. We saw a prime example of this with fewer
than two minutes remaining in Game 4 of the Habs-Lightning series. While it is
difficult to deny that the trip by Cedric Paquette on Michael Bournival was a
legitimate foul, given the countless infractions that were not penalized, the
referee(s) were subjected to justifiable ridicule for calling a trip in the
corner of the rink at that time of the game. It is important to note there
have been some real solid performances by the zebras in games thus far. The
officials we notice most however are ones that stop refereeing the game and
employ a standard of enforcement that resembles shifting sand. This isnt a
result of fatigue; physical or mental. There is an answer to this dilemma. The
referees have to be given clear direction by the Officiating Management to know
and maintain the expected penalty throughout the entire game. In this regard the
officials need to be better coached and held accountable when the expected
standard is not met. Finally, when the officials do the job and make the tough
calls they need to know they will be supported.
