Mike--
Does a mentor have to be assigned? Why don't you go and "find" one for yourself. Do you know any good officials in your area? Talk with them, go to their games (inlcuding pre-and post-game discussions), go have a drink with them, talk basketball (games, situations, philosophy, etc.) with them. You get the idea. Ask them to come see you, buy them dinner for their trouble, if you have to. Help yourself by being a friend to them and having them take an interest in you. Let them know what your asperations in officiating are and ask them how to get there.
It really isn't that tough...
