In Response To: Re: The squat debate ,Head ref judging depth (John Hanson)

John I don't know if you have ever even judged. I really try not to give a red while head judging. I probably have not given a half a dozen reds from the front. I am sure I have judged a thousand squats from the front.

Looking at some of the squats that I white lighted I am embarassed that the lift passed. Some were so high I am felt like quitting the head chair. I watch other things than depth. If a head judge doesn't look at depth there is really not much left to do except give the squat command and the rack command. Did the bar roll on his back, did he wait on the commands, does he have a shirt on, etc:.
