Why? Because you will never, NEVER see this man on a Pac-10 court again.
In case you're not smiling wide enough already, here's a little comic relief for you from the WCC news release:
"I am very excited to add David Libbey to our West Coast Conference team and I am confident that his energy, work ethic and passion for officiating and the WCC will immediately enhance our officiating program," WCC Commissioner Jamie Zaninovich said. "While David's on court success speaks for itself, he has also served as a dedicated mentor to younger officials for many years and has shared his passion for the game and officiating to help develop the next generation. I am happy he will now serve this vitally important role as our new Coordinator of Men's Basketball Officials."
Notice that "energy, work ethic and passion" are the requirements for the job, not actual officiating skills. Libbey lucked out in that respect.
Libbey gets a raise, he never officiates another one of our games ... it's just a win-win for everyone.
