That isn't our collective egos talking...FYI, you're the one spouting the get it right line, as if only you can get it right...it's experience, working knowledge of how things work, and most important WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF HOW THINGS WORK WITH PARTNERS YOU TRUST!

Let me help him out.
Tomegun--College official from several states and varsity official
Jurrassic Referee--Long time official and assignor and evaluator
Zebraman--State Final official and I believes works college ball too
BlindZebra--Varsity official (do not remember much more)
Me--Well I have already said some of what I have done
David--JV and sophomore official
Let me also add that over the years everyone on this list has disagreed with each other and I know I have had my fallings out with each one of them in some way or another. This is one thing that is very clear we all agree on without wavering. I could be wrong, but I will take my chances with the people here that have shown they know something about officiating, then a person that has no desire to move up (his words, not mine) and thinks he knows better than the conventional wisdom of very experienced official.
Peace
