That is not exactly what I said. You put a lot of stuff into my comments.
Let me make this clear. Lower level college basketball often does not have a monitor. Lower level college does not have rules different than D1, but there is an expectation to call the exact same things as they do at that level. When you do not call things like the D1, coaches can and will go nuts, even when you do not have a monitor. So if you rule something like a Flagrant Technical and it is not "there" they might make an issue out of that. College coaches can be pettier than high school coaches. And at least for me, college coaches do not know you as well as high school coaches, you cannot just tell them anything.

It is better than working many college football games and being there all day for less pay in some cases. At least I am at a game less than a couple of hours and it is warm inside. So to each his own.
