Here is the truth, neither adds to the discussion, all it does is make you look like an arrogant prick.

Bear asked for opinions and he lives in my backyard. I have very specific knowledge of who he can work for and who assigns what.
Can you give him that information? Do you know the associations and who are influential in those associations? Can you tell him what leagues are available and that he can work from Lake County, DuPage County, Cook and Kane Counties? Do you know what colleges and high schools can run leagues in this area? Do you know the people that assign high school leagues around here? Do you know the people that run camps around here? Can you run a camp for the IHSA for certification (required to keep a license and work post season)?
You know the answer to all of these things. And I can give that information and have given that information too many people that post from my area. And that information is not exclusive to me, because every day during the summer I get emails asking to share information with fellow officials about leagues and camps at all levels so that young officials to the biggest veterans can work those games.
And if that makes me an arrogant prick to share that information, I guess the many officials that shared the same information with me when I moved to this area in 1999, are also arrogant pricks. And that would include Bob J who also gave me similar information when he realized I moved here and that information allowed me to attend camps and meet assignors so I could work games during the regular season.
I guess we all have to be upset about something.
