I got into officiating to work. I did not get into officating to sit at home and not work. I guess if I want to work, I need to do a lot of things that is asked of me. Like buy a certain uniform. Like show up at a specific time before the game. Or wear facial hair or not wear facial hair. It matters in basketball a lot. It does not matter in baseball that much for some reason. If I work a D1 basketball game, I have a chance of making over $1000 plus expenses as compared to $52 for that HS game or $125 for a JUCO or D3 game. I do not know about you, but I would shave off the beard to make $900+ to work the same time I would for a HS or lower level college game. If you call that kissing up, I guess you have a right to that opinion. I call it doing what it takes to work games, which is why I started officiating in the first place.
Peace
