NBA referee scouts don't really care what levels you work. Certainly doesn't hurt you to have seen higher-level basketball, but in the end your resume is a very small part of getting hired. They are looking for qualities far beyond "I work in x conference." Besides, things vary so much based on geography. A very talented young official might be able to get a full varsity schedule in one state, and in another state an equally talented official can't get even one varsity game because he has to have a certain number of experience years.
And paying to tryout? $175 is less than you would pay for almost any college tryout camp, including JUCO/NAIA/D3. The men's JUCO assigner in my area charges $225 for his camp, no lodging or food included.
