Pride in the job???

I am really glad this post has come to light. Lately I ahve been gorwing more and more agitated at the lack of professionalism some of my partners have shown. You can tell if a guy is going to give a good game usually with a couple of questions. #1 Do you do it because you love the game? Or is it for the money? THe mony guys do not give a s*$@ and it erally affects yor whole game. These are the sam guys that think they need to be getting more VArsity games and worse yet, they should be the REFEREE!!! for the darn games as well. When they do not rotate, do not listen becasue you are younger than them, and or have less years thatn them, it makes for a really long night. Mind you I do keep patent leather shoes and starch my shirts to almost cardboard stiffness, but this is only becasue I take an immense amount of pride in my appearance. This also reflects in how I handle myself on the court, and during the game. If I miss a call a coach is less likely to get on me if I look the part and act the part, than be some slob who may have profound knowledge of the rules.Times are tough ad good referees are hard to come by.
