The higher you go up the more they want officials that can be a Referee. If you watch major college basketball, the Referee is usually one of the most respected officials on a crew. I know that many D1 assignors goal is to have 3 Referees on the crew. This is not by position, but in the way these officials are thought of as officials. For example when I watch a Big Ten game and Ed Hightower is on the game, he is always the Referee. He always works the Big Ten Tournament Championship and every game in the tournament no matter who is there he is the Referee. The same thing applies with many of my HS assignors. They do not put inexperienced or not very accomplished officials as the Referee in those games. My college assignor also dictates who works where. Usually the U2 is the least experienced official.
So for many assignors and people it does matter who the Referee is.
Peace
