And smitty, you should have been reading some of the other threads months ago on how important "looks" are...pleated pants, shiny shoes so on and so on, so THANK YOU for helping me prove that looks are not everything!
Keep up the positive writing.

Actually I disagree that the number of games you work says it all. But I've already given my point of view on that. I have read some of the posts on pants and shoes and belts. Personally I found them to be a bit over the top. I think it's very relative, though. It appears different associations around the country put different degrees of significance on clothes and such. I have never shined my shoes - I like the way my Nike's look. I don't wear a belt, but only because I happened to buy the sansabelt style pants. I have never based any assumptions on a fellow official because they wear belted pants - I think that's just silly. But it's all relative - I guess in some places in order to get to a certain level, you have to do things that don't make a lot of sense. I am not looking to get to any particular level - I just love reffing basketball, and I have a blast doing it. I work hard and try to get better every game, and I'll take whatever games are assigned to me. That's what it's about for me. For you, this may seem completely backwards. We're all different.
