The ECAC has not renewed the contract of former Geneseo coach Paul Duffy as Supervisor of Officials, and is actively, and aggressively, seeking a new person to fill the role.<\/p>\n

“It was a very tough decision,” said ECAC commissioner Steve Hagwell. “Coming out of [the coaches convention in] Naples, I was charged with overseeing personnel and making decisions in regards to staff. At the end of the day, we went in a different direction. Paul did a lot of nice things last year.”<\/p>\n

Officiating is a consistent point of angst everywhere in hockey, but the ECAC’s aggressive search suggests it wants to clean up some trouble spots in that area.<\/p>\n

In announcing the job opening<\/a>, the ECAC listed 19 duties and responsibilities for its next Supervisor. Besides the more obvious ones — coordinating referee personnel and scheduling, etc… — the ECAC also emphasized items such as:<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Utilize coaches’ ratings, observers’ evaluations and personal observations to determine officiating assignments during the season.”<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Conduct an annual meeting with Division I hockey officials’ observers to review interpretations, mechanics and philosophy of officiating.”<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Work toward the elimination of any practice that permits coaches to “blackball” or “scratch” game officials in relationship to their individual game assignments and retention as a working official in the league.”<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Develop and implement an officials’ enhancement program that would include public relations, educating and the public, etc.”<\/p>\n

(Full job listing<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The ECAC’s intention is to create better procedural and managerial control over the officiating system, in order to improve the overall quality.<\/p>\n

“We need somenoe who is able to strike the balance between coaches issues and officiating issues,” Hagwell said. “Someone who is strong in their beliefs and has a plan. It’s a very difficult position to balance. By the same token, we’ve got to come up with some new ideas to get new blood, and at some point you do need a new influx of officials.<\/p>\n

“You’ve got to have a plan to deal with people because coaches are going to call you constantly. You need to get out and be visible, and someone who is strong in their positions.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
