Brothers Dale & Ben Keller are D1 line of scrimmage officials, working in the Pac-12 and BigSky respectively. In this conversation, they join us to discuss the family’s “other” business. We talk about how they both got started in officiating by helping their step-father, long time HS crew chief Carl Gertz, during games. We also get into their preparation and of course we get into some line of scrimmage discussion.
