Let me put it to you this way. In my state you cannot even umpire a HS baseball game until March 12. Then because of the fact that baseball is not a revenue sport and often there are no tarps covering fields (like many college baseball teams), you might not work many games at all until the following week or two after. And if your team is a good basketball school, you might not even have practiced by that time as an entire team (or at all if you are a small school). It is not all about the weather from many of us. And if you are working other sports at that time, you might not want to go right into another sport without a significant break. I know that is the case for a lot of officials in my area and I am sure in other parts of the country.
Peace
