I read tonight that Paul Tamberino is stepping down as Director of Ref Development for US Soccer. I'm not very high up, only a grade 7, but I know Tamberino's name; he's been around for quite a while. He and Brian Hall have written Week in Review and I personally find that article very interesting each and every week. When I first became a ref maybe 12 years ago there was nothing in the way of referee development like we have now.
According to this blog post on Big Soccer there may be a bigger issue here. If there is a bigger issue I am slightly worried that change will be rippling through the referee infrastructure too quickly.
Who knows, sometimes change is a good thing, but sometimes too much change too quickly is a disaster.
