I guess it depends on your experience. Where I live these leagues are absolute garbage. The only times working what could be classified as a Men’s League are leagues that have current NBA players and current college players. Everyone does not get those types of games and when you do get those opportunities, you are likely working in the CBA or a potential NBA official. But the local YMCA league with some has-beens and never-was players, you are only looking for trouble. And it is not secret the guys that work these leagues are more than likely officials that will do just about anything for the money.

Peace
