/in /by

EAST PALESTINE, OH- Officiating is one of the toughest gigs going in sports.  You’re only right 50% of the time, and it always depends on who you ask.  However, if you know officiating, or are looking to gain some wisdom in the subject, there’s a good chance your paths will cross at some point with John Mang Sr.  Mang has been a staple in Valley officiating for decades, and still remains one of the main contacts for assignments, and know-how when you have a clicker or a whistle.

We caught up with Mr. Mang for a “State of Officiating” type segment on YSN Running Point on Thursday.

Watch the interview below to see where things stand.
