Just like Zebraman
The area I work in is pretty much the same. I am involved. I go to games, clinics,and meetings. It is amazing some of the guidance I have received about officiating. Sitting around after my game, vet had come to watch his girlfriends kid play JV, saw me ref and starts going over stuff with me. 45 minutes later he is gone ,taking his 12 years of D1 experience, 4 in the Pac 10 with him. . I got my own personal camp that night.
IMO, and I repeat IMO, the ones who complain about the good ole boys just won't play the game. I have also noticed that they can't be bothered with things like mechanics, showing up early, hanging around, doing the clinic,camps. My perception is they treat this pretty lightly until their check is screwed up then.....
