Big John McCarthy applied for his Nevada liscense earlier this month but was met with this response:

[quote:2npqsb6v]In a mailed letter from Keith Kizer, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, McCarthy, who submitted his application Sept. 10, was informed that the state “[does] not anticipate adding any additional referees at this time. We will place your application in the pending file in case the situation changes.”

Honestly, I don't blame them. John burned a lot of bridges on a big gamble that turned out to be a loss. I'd be very slow to bring him back too, him being the best nonetheless.
