Please tell us: What umpiring or basketball officiating assigments have you obtained based on your writings either on the Internet or in some other publication that we can check out?

Well considering that I have never recieved any assignments as a result of writing on the internet, that would be not a one.
But I have not
ever met personally a single umpire or official that gained a single assignment for speaking on the internet. As a matter of fact, the most accomplished officials I know in any sport, did not do so thru the internet to get those opportunities. Even your boy, has not claimed to achieved anything thru the internet. He did it like 99.9 percent of those, by working games or attending camps.
Maybe you have recieved opportunities this way, but you would be the only person I have ever heard that has. I have been hired by many assignors or ask to speak and certain events and most do not even know anything about this or any place. And they really do not care. That is what camps and clinics are for.
