I agree with you on this for the most part. I think a lot of officials use excuses like "old boy network" or "kissing butt" as the reasons they do not achieve and others do achieve. That is the case in your system or my system. I work around assignors that take the word of one coach and do not show tape or but an evaluation that is based on nothing but an opinion. There is a D1 official that moved into our area and the last I heard he cannot get hardly a game or two from assignors that have evidence that he currently works D1 ball. Unfortunately that is how human beings operate.
