My son started officiating kids rec when he was in 7th grade. He stayed with it through HS. Right after that, he joined the local assn. and worked for two years doing mostly JV. He was great and had a real opportunity to become a top official. However, he stopped because he just didn't have the time. He took a really demanding job (sales management with the nation's largest cable provider - who shall remain nameless), and a while later got married and has his own son now.
Hey, maybe someday I'll see one of my grandsons out on the court T'ing up some coach! Cool!
