| SEC Officials add from Big 12, Conf USA and the Sun Belt (Posted on 5/15/12 at 11:08 am)
quote:
The SEC added a ninth crew for 2012, drawing several new officials from the Big 12 -- the old home of Texas A&M and Missouri -- and also from Conference USA and the Sun Belt. SEC coordinator of officials Steve Shaw said the conference typically looks for the best officials who live in the SEC's geographic footprint.
"There are obviously a number of good officials in Missouri and Texas," Shaw said.
Four SEC officials from 2011 -- three active and one working instant replay -- won't return due to performance or retirement, Shaw said. The SEC had four officials depart when Shaw took over following the 2010 season.
Shaw said he wants to continue to incrementally make SEC officiating more transparent, within reason. He is considering providing a midseason review on the SEC Digital Network of some correct and incorrect calls from that season.

Texas A&M and Missouri also bring up-tempo offenses for SEC officials to handle. Shaw visited both schools this spring, in part to become familiar with the stadiums. He said SEC officials, having worked past up-tempo games with Auburn and Oregon, are ready for the pace.
Officials practiced a lot this spring on dealing with substitutions before spotting the ball for play, Shaw said. Defenses must have time to substitute if the offense also changes players.
"If you don't substitute, it's definitely a pretty quick tempo and there's clearly opportunity on our play clock to snap it before 10 seconds have expired," Shaw said. "We're going to be crisp but not hurried (in spotting the ball)."

If they can limit it to only 5 per game, they immediately become the best officials in the league.
