What do you think? It must be nice to have that option.

Good for him. He's a stud. I'm sure he has good reasons. Maybe he prefers his career and family to the NBA lifestyle. Maybe he just wants to be the best official he can be at the college level and feels that the NBA training program improves his college game. Maybe he finds the college game more enjoyable. Maybe he has a lucrative career which sets him up better than an NBA career would. Who cares why? It's his decision and he's so skilled that he can choose to do whatever he wants to do.
There are many of us who aspire to be state tournament HS officials only. We like our careers and our family and we love to officiate too, but the college game would not allow us to keep our priorities in order. We all have to make choices to balance all the things that are important to us.
