I never said this applied to every part of the country (I know Tommy is not saying that, just want to make that clear). High School officiating it a completely different animal than College and pro officiating. There are fewer officials to fill more slots. There are over 300 D1 Basketball programs. There are over 700 High Schools in the state of Illinois. In many cases they need officials to work both at the HS level. I can tell you that they do not assign playoff games (everyone plays in our state) to many officials that work both.
