    Combined maybe 1 pace of play penalty between all of these retiree rules officials combined.
    There seems to be some new pace of play rules coming which may be significant enough to require this guard change.
    That being said Congrats to everyone retiring. Truly some amazing officiating careers all ending at once.

      As we said, it’s a changing of the guard, both in Europe and here….I remember Slugger when he was a player out there, that’s how far I go back….ouch!

            True.
            There were some Jack grumblings at time no?
            But because he was so good it was deemed methodical.
            True?
