Ok, I can buy that. The D-League official I spoke to this morning said that working the D-League is by invitation only and to get an invitation, you need to go to the Guthrey camp or the Dale Kelley (Big 12 assignor) camp in early June. The NBA sends evaluators to those camps (but maybe others, too, of course) and then picks a few officials to look at in the NBDL.
That's all second-hand info, but I trust it since the guy has been through the process himself.
