So glad we have some independence here.

Every system has its strengths and its weaknesses. The main advantage of the association system is that there is someone there to mediate between the ref and an angry coach, and there is somewhat stronger guarantee of getting paid. Other benefits I have received personally are the training, and the chance to rub shoulders with others and learn from them. I know these advantages aren't big for you since you have done very well for yourself. But some of us have needed more help and could never have survived to be successful if we didn't have an association.
