Randy McCall has two jobs. His main one is to be athletic director at Cherry Creek High School. The other is to officiate NCAA basketball games during the winter.
Media reports say he will be allowed to miss 37 days of work next year (with a corresponding pay cut of 20%) to referee the games. The district says it's a beneficial arrangement and will use the money to hire someone to sit in McCall's office while he's away.
The reports also implied that the district said there wasn't as great a need for a full-time AD because Creek has such an outstanding record in McCall's 11-year tenure there. What they forgot to include was that Creek has its pick of the top-of-the-line athletes from there and other parts of the metropolitan area.
But we quibble.
What are your thoughts about this arrangement?

As someone who does the exact same thing but but with Soccer, I think its great, I am not an AD but I do know other ref's who are coaches and teachers alike, and sometimes the school's make special arrangements because there is a great dearth of quality officials. So as long as he is serving in both capacities with distinction more power to him.
