Personally, I don't try to pass on as much information as I used to because the high school officials I come in contact with don't have the dedication to accept it. For them, it is all about the check. Many officials on this board are dedicated and still would rather do high school only so this isn't a good group to use when guaging this.
I agree with you and do the same as you when I'm on a high school game. I have been in that position when information i learned is passed to someone who just does high school. Even in a game, they give you that look when you pass on something or tell them something, like going over to help with an o.b. call and they don't want to change it. I just want to get the play right and work the best game possible. Unfortunately because of my age most guys probably think I'm a young officials who thinks I'm the **** and trying to big time them because I work a higher level they never got to.
O well.....
