The number of top quality games is very limited. If you are doing one of these games, enjoy the moment and work hard.

If you find that you are doing a bunch of good games, that is probably because folks recognize you as being a good official. If you find that you are doing what you think are a bunch of "bad, non-competitive, poorly played" games, well, you know what kind of officials usually do these types of games -- work to get better.
Coach you make a lot of great points here - in this era of instant gratification there are a lot of officials that do not want to "pay their dues" or earn the "high profile" games, they passed the test so they are ready to work
Duke-vs-UNC the next day

Let's face it a lot of the high profile games are not good games when it comes down to it, and some of the better games to work are at the ones that on paper look to be horrible.
