Absolutely not. After a year and a half, you should be getting regional semi-final playoff games. You should quit in protest. Now. Call you assignor and turn in your schedule.
Sigh.
Ok, look. Maybe there's a legitimate reason you're not getting some higher level games. I waited 6 years for my first varsity games. Maybe basketball isn't really as easy to call as you think it is. Maybe you're being evaluated and you don't know it. Maybe people have heard you complaining and decided that you're not a "team player". Maybe there really are that many officials available that are better than you are right now.
I can't tell you why you're not getting the games you'd like. But I can tell you that after a year and a half, you have no business complaining about not having a varsity (or even a high JV) schedule.
And I'm not saying this b/c I'm an assignor and I get pissed at anybody who complains about their schedule. I have had my share of frustration along my way -- just like 99% of all basketball officials. All you -- or I -- can do is work the games you get and hope somebody notices. If you think you have the potential, then go to one of those summer camps. What can it hurt? It will put you in front of people who can give you better games. At the very least, it will show you what you need to work on before you're ready for those better games.
