Reason all these older guys are working and you are not seeing younger officals is because the coaches trust the older guys and know how they call.
Its getting harder and harder for a white guy to be a college offical. Im not trying to use the race card. Im just passing on what a D1 offical told me. They are looking for black men in mens and looking for women or a black woman is a plus in the womens side of basketball.
As for the amount of games worked.... If you got travel expense like the college officals do you would gobble up as many games as you could. Ex. An offical lives in Dallas. They are assigned a game at UCONN. They get travel from dallas to UCONN. Then the next night they have a game at UMASS. Well they get travel from Dallas to UMASS, instead of from UCONN to UMASS.
