I'd like to go back to the issue of people working too many games. I can see both sides of the issue. I know that my first year of varsity hs, I only had about one or two games a week, and taht was enough! emotionally and mentally, I was maxxed out. But the next year, there were a couple of weeks when I had three games, and sometimes varsity two nights in a row, and it wasn't as bad. I had improved to the point that I could handle it. I'm assuming that the D1 folks that are working 6 games a week have worked enough that they can cope with the stress, and don't get burned out. I expect the assignors don't think they're overworked. THey sure don't HAVE to give that many games to one person!
On the other hand, I can't imagine how it could be humanly possible to be intense enough, and confident enough, and physically fit enough to keep up that kind of schedule for 5 months. Would there be a way to back some of the heavy hitters off a little and give someone else a chance to take some of those games? Would it cut down on errors and bad calls? How could those questions be answered?
