I think you are generalizing.
When I was in my first 5 years of officiating, there were some officials who worked higher levels that I really enjoyed. They were helpful and gracious. They mentored the less experienced officials and helped raise the talent level of our group.
There were also some other guys who gave the impression that we were lucky to be able to be in their presence. They did not give anything back to our group.
Now that I do a little college ball, I would like to think that I am one who gives back to our high school group and helps raise our talent level.
We have guys who have given back HS games because they picked up a college game. That is an accepted practice around here. On the flip side, I gave back my last CC game of the year (with my assignor's blessing) so that I could go to one of our HS state tournaments this year.
So to sum up all my babbling, it depends on the individual.
