Hochuli did retire at the end of last season. Coleman unfortunately is still listed as active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Gene was the best ref in the game. Also a division 1 college b-ball ref Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddo Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Always thought Steratore was one of the better refs. Never seemed to make the game about him, and was generally far more consistent than others. Even when he had an off day, he appeared to get things equally wrong. The biggest danger the NFL has now in its officiating, is Riveron back in their studio. He needs to learn when to wind his neck in, especially when it comes to 'clear' evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I’ll definitely miss Steratore. When you saw he was officiating a big game, you were confident it would be a fair contest. The sound FX replay of Super Bowl LII with mic’d up audio is a testament to Gene’s common sense interpretation of the rules. Something that seems lost on Al Riveron all too often.
