I think that gets one prepared very well.

Assignors are always looking for talent. They hire every year at the small college level -- over 40 JC's in our backyard.

Anyone that wants to be can be college ready in 3 years with what and who they have available to them here.

My quote above stands on its own. I know plenty of officials who resemble my statement, myself included. I've even seen officials move to D1 after only 3 or 4 years.
Are you telling me that the average official in Cali does 100 regular season high school games in his first year? One hundred? And one hundred regular season high school games a year for the next 2 years also? WOW!

If the assignors hire for those 40 JC's, what is the criteria used by those assignors for the officials that they are letting go every year to make room for those new hires.

Are you currently a D1 official in Cali? If so, for what leagues? If not, why not?
