Well, you better care a little bit. Coaches get to rate us. Coaches have phones with the assignor's number on speed-dial. If a coach decides that you're a lazy official, your ratings will reflect that. As roster spots get more competitive, that rating may effect your assignments.

[/QUOTE]Do you really think that a coach is watching whatintheheck an official is doing on a walk-up in the backcourt with no pressure? Sorry, but the only way any coach is doing anything like that imo is if he's already pissed off at you for sumthin' and he's looking for a reason to b!tch at you. Otherwise, coaches got way too much on their tiny l'il minds to worry about other than whether we're jogging vs. walking on a nothing play sequence.

I get complaints about officials being out of position because of a lack of hustle. Never yet had or heard of a complaint about an official being constantly in position despite not really hustling to do so.
