In my opinion, this is the biggest thing. Where I live we have one assignor for the entire association. Last year, varsity games made up just over 10% of my schedule. I spoke with the assignment secretary and asked his opinion. I started the conversation with "Like everyone in the chapter, I want an entire varsity schedule. I know time will play a part in that and trust that you are giving me the schedule you think I merit. I want to change your opinion of my ability so what are the areas where you think I need to focus? Please, be brutally honest."
We had a good conversation and I found out that much of it had to do with things other than calling fouls...as he said I "called a good game." ...mechanics, appearance, game management, etc. I worked hard on those things while calling summer ball and only attended camps where he would be on staff. It worked...so far this year my schedule is 60% varsity.
