No, I am saying that college refs aren't the best refs for the high school game. There are exceptions (like the example given of an official who is working 2 high school games a week, give that man a playoff assignment). No, what grinds my gears are the ones who think they deserve the plum assignments just because they work college ball and have put in the minimum effort to be eligible.
And for the record, I don't even work varsity HS ball yet. I'm still in the trenches gladly working everything from 7th grade to JV. Even in the sports where I do regularly work varsity I haven't applied to work the postseason because I am early in my career and still learning.
The biggest problem is the mindset that I see that a person who works college is automatically better than a person who works high school and it simple is not (always) true.
