Since you are so sure of yourself, please share for the reading audiance what the assigners do when the coach is right?

Cappy, I am not talking about one D1 friend, I literally know several D1 officials personally that either I have worked with during the HS and college seasons.
Oh forget it; I know who I am talking to.

My point in all this is not to show off my credentials or who I know but to get the majority to realize and understand that this is a full blown business. There are good people on both sides of the aisle. Enjoy yourself and everyone you get to meet in this basketball business as your time on the court is not promised.
I think sports in our soceity is ruining the society. Too much is put on winning and not enough on enjoying the journey. We have to think about the type of person we are turning out. Win at all cost, take no prisoners attitude. Iimagine if you will, what it must be like for a man of this size to run between the tackles, and dodge linebackers twice his size and strength, and is ultimately responsible to win the game. We want to act surpise when this same man raises pit-bulls to fight. This guy is in a dog fight everytime he steps on the field.
We do not have to be in a dog fight everytime we take the court or speak to each other on a internet forum. I'm hear to tell you there are more people who don't get a chance then there are people who do. You may not get to be a D1 official, you may not even know any DI officials, but you do not have to sell your sole to the devil to be happy or to get picked up. All that is a bunch of hype to keep you coming back, all the while, the deck is stacked. That's right, they already know who they are going to hire this year before the camp even starts.
