Had a really "deep" quick question. Someone asked me last week if I feel that I have an impact on the world by being an official. I am curious on what responses i get when asking the question "How do you make a difference". My first question is, if you are a younger official, how often are you looked down upon for this? If you are a female or again, a younger official (or "older" officials), how do coaches/fans/players/others officials/ect. react when the see you step out onto the court? Does anyone have statistics on how many young officials start out, and how many really succeed (college +), and how many quit? This should be interesting, hopefully I can get some feedback, thanks,
Doug
