In my area, these games are filled by ADs. Some ADs just want a body, while others sincerely try to employ the best available official. Subsequently, you will see a wide spectrum of performances.

Officiating within the gamut of levels, mostly because I am an officiating "junkie", provides me an opportunity to work with a wide range of officiating abilities. More often than not, I am partnered with less experienced officials; many of whom ask multiple questions as eager learners. Unfortunately, I also get partnered with officials who meet the criteria of your observations. Some are a downright embarrassment to the avocation.
