I do agree that my original post came off as extremly negative. But the point I was trying to make, and failed so miserably at doing so, was that take the inital playoff games with a grain of salt. I know plenty of officials that have been getting playoff games for many years, and all they do are first round games.
Once you start getting into the later round thats when it really counts. In the end making the playoffs is a good thing for your officiating career as it is a step forward. But many officials, and I have seen this happen, think that once they get those first round games they have made it to the holy grail.
And I want to apologize to the OP for being overly negative. I was trying to pepper in reality and in turn I can see that I was out of line. For that I do apologize, and congrats on taking a step forward. Just dont get comfortable on your laurels.
