Chip on my shoulder? For what?

Nothing? Are you sure about that? From day one I was told that my shoes had to be shined. Any camp I have attended. Any association presentation I have seen has talked about shining your shoes as a basketball official. I do not know where you live, but it is constantly said. Does that mean everyone does that? Of course it does not.

Smitty, I really do not care if you like my answers or not. That is your issue, not mine. It seems like you are spending a lot of time wondering asking why all the time and wanting evidence of very common practices. You seem to want everything written down to prove a point. Well if everything needs to be written down for you to decide what to do, you will have a hard time in this world. There are a lot of things that are not spelled out, but you have to follow them. Sorry you seemed to be offended to be told the truth.

It sounds like you are projecting your own feelings about your own commitment based on what I am saying. I do not care how seriously you or anyone takes this. That is up to you to decide if wearing the proper uniform or "looking the part" is important to you. If it is not important to you that just mean one less person I have to compete with. And Smitty, you and I are not competing for anything. You are just some guy on an internet site that as far as I know you are not even a good official. So really Smitty, relax. Life is too short to get upset over a person that you do not know or will never meet.
Peace
