I think I mentioned to you that I saw that. ("Hallowed" wasn't it?)

Yes it is bigtime ball to a point, but how does it help you as an official in Chicago. Here, the only type of game like that or tournament that will help you, is if it has HS or college players and teams. I am personally going to do an AAU tournament this weekend, but as an official, it will doing nothing for may career. All it will do is give me a chance to do a basketball game in the middle of April. Officiating bascially pure play ground heroes and a couple of pros mixed in, does not cut it here. You might as well gather some players and put on a striped shirts and put a whistle in your mouth and call it a game. Because around here, no one would care or pay attention. And the assignors and coaches would not even be present. [/B]

Rut,
I am not interested either. I don't think I'd be good enough, ...or safe enough.
But Luv2's point was that many summer games actually do count.
They may not count to Officials who are trying to further their careers, all the time, but they do count to the "Loudies": fans, bettors, players and coaches.
And they may count BIG.
