Of course this varies from coordinator to coordinator, area to area, but it makes sense to hire someone who will be working for you for 20 years rather than someone who might just arrive for a cup of coffee, so long as the young ref has reached a certain level of competence.

BTW your last post before this one was outstanding.
Also what can get you hired is your location. John Adams that is the soon to be NCAA Men's Coordinator made it very clear to campers that were prospective D2 officials for the conference he assigned, if you lived in certain locations you would get hired pretty much off the spot. And that was very clear who he did not hire when I attended his last camp. So it is not every about who they can mold. Sometimes it is where you live and how many games they can give you in certain locations without much of a problem.
