I'm only talking about officials I know personally when I say this.
There are two kinds of veterans; those that are good and those that are veterans just because they have been officiating for a long time. The latter might not accept this advice from someone who has less experience than them but sometimes they should.
There is a ref on my board that was complaining about not getting playoff games this past year. I made a comment to someone that there are some guys who deserve at least one game because they are pretty good. Then I asked if this official complaining was a 2nd year official. I was told he was a 5 year official while the guys I thought should get a game are 3 year officials. I was shocked. In IAABO how long you've been working makes more of a difference than it should (on some boards).
