I would say that they need one for all sports. A few years ago in your home town we had an officials meeting attended by Rick Bowden. Our guest speaker from the NCAA told Rick that our system was nothing but a "good ole boy network" and that we needed to put an evaluation system in place or we would be headed for disaster. So here we are... You should not get a job because of who you are but instead because you are the best person for the job. It is not ok to have the same officials doing the same tournaments 20 years in a row.
