Lightbulb Weight is just like anything else.

You would have to ask your assignor or the person that assigns that conference. It is not that common to see guys that are slow and fat around me. Not so much because they assignors, the coaches do not want them. The assignors ultimately work for the schools and the conferences, so they tend to put individuals that are more athletic looking. I have known guys to be told, "you must lose 10-15 pounds."

Just like anything there is no one factor that can make or break you as an official. You could wear belted pants and still work, you must might not be working as much or get the same respect. Weight is no different. But I would not worry about it. Your time will come.

Peace
