I agree with everybody that has written in so far. I wish I wouldn't have went on a rant like that but I had the similar problem with an old guy the other day and it kind of hit me in the heart.
Jurassic in three years I would have to say that in games total I have done near 600 games and about 35% at the high school varsity level. I know your going to rip into me so go ahead and let us get it over with. I love criticism.
I do apologize to everyone again. I, unlike alot of people on here, have not recieved perspective or priorities yet. All I want to do on this earth is referee basketball at the highest level imaginable, and nothing else. I don't have a wife or another job, etc. to have to prioritize with reffing. That is all I do. I feel that every day I don't ref it is a day wasted.
And don't get me wrong I don't want to move on too fast. I want to pay my dues like everyone else. When I do low level games people ask me what I am doing there and I reply "I am just paying my dues"
Mr. McCain
Your story is also head on. The thing that I do have that I think you don't think I have is an older mentor. I love this man with no doubt in my mind. Also like you said though I do put all my eggs in one basket, but that is how much I believe in the development program I am in, and how much I believe in my mentor. If nothing happens for me because I put all my eggs in one basket then so be it and shame on me for being so niaive(i'm pretty sure i didn't spell that right.)
