Physical Conditioning

If and official can’t get up and down the court, should he/she be officiating? 

 I ask, of course, because there are individuals who do not/cannot run up and down the court.  Whether it be from physical ailments (bad knees, etc.), too much around the mid-section, or just plain old fashioned laziness, being in position to make the best calls possible just doesn’t happen.  Are you compromising the integrity of the game? Are you compromising the profession?

I’m almost certain that most of us have worked with someone that qualifies, and I’m pretty certain that your thought processes didn’t stray too far from the points listed above.

Thoughts??
