The thoughts in this sub-thread are the sort of accountability I would like to see.

Any calls submitted to the officiating office by schools should be explained along with the video footage, just like this guy from NC state did, but also stating the rule. 
[LIST]
[*]School submits a contested call, with video footage, and the applicable rule, and why they think the call was wrong
[*]An official, if not the official responds in kind
[*]And have this moderated by a 'special master' or whatever to the official. Someone who can call BS on the official's explanation, and also to the school's complaints. 
[*]Collect data. 
[*]Assign poorly performing officials to lesser games and divisions
[*]Assign better performing officials to the more prominent games
[*]If schools abuse the system, then perhaps restrict their ability to submit future complaints
[/LIST]
This era where a coach cannot even complain in a presser without being fined or whatever, and the official hops in his Datsun and drives off to the next town/next show is just ridiculous.

And, I 100% agree with cutting the rule book in half. 
[LIST]
[*]Diminish the subjective stuff, either by eliminating or reducing the consequences
[*]Enhance the objective stuff
[*]Simplify the rules
[*]Enforce the simplified rules
[/LIST]
It irks me to no end when a ticky tack is called where the defender not only did not commit a foul, but no advantage was gained either way.
