Well folks i just answered a thread with what i have seen in my 20+ years of officating in Alaska. I am not going to give up my job and loose my retirement for the chance to be on TV (not that that's a bad thing) if it works for you great. I have worn a mustache for almost 40 years and i will not shave it off!
I go out and work hard to do be the best that i can every night. If i did shave my stache would the "coach" like me more? Would the assignor give me more games? I can answer "NO". Don't get me wrong, i love officating basketball but if for some reason i could not referee anymore i would not "DIE" because of it.
To all you striving for the the next level i sincerely hope all your dreams and asperations come true.
Good Luck
