The chances to work with officials of that level are few and far between, I can't think that any of us here wouldn't want the opportunity, even at lower levels. I am not sure what it would take from a D-1 guy for me not to want to finish the day with him and learn...maybe something along the lines of

"hey you suck, and if you step on this floor with me again I am leaving"

... but short of that I finish out the day and welcome any advice or comment....
You might want to sit down and think for a minute about what you said; there's alot of ways to communicate and sure, not everyone is good at it or even very tactful but I'm not interested in someone threatening assault as an attempt to teach me something.

On the other hand, if that doesn't bother you then you're alot thicker skinned than I am.

If this guy really is a D1 official, he sure didn't get there by talking to people like that and if you're willing to take that then go for it, but for me I'm not going to kis this guys arsk just so he can give me some advice. There's way to many "good guys" from those ranks who are willing to be helpful in a friendly way.
