I would be careful here.
Although there may be a few guys like you describe most of the varisty guys I know in Utah are confident in their own officiating ability and dont woory about younger guys taking any games.
The evaluation system that we have and trying to adopt further is a sign that we want to develop newer officials.
I have never been required to mentor a junior official although it has been encouraged. I do wonder how you would expect a varsity official to attend your games. Since the varisty guys have to be in the gym by 6:00 for their 7:00 game, if you are officiating the 5:30 game some where else it would be tough on them. With most varsity guys doing 3- 4 games a week we like to be home once in a while and the fact is that when you include meetings it is tough to get anyywhere. I am not justifying his/her actions but you also need to see it from the other perspective.
We have meetings, rule getogethers, I know Salt Lake will be having a get together every Friday night ...
