Well he is wrong too. I have worked multiple games during the summer and off season and never had one assignor ever expect that the games be worked like a regular game. They certainly are not expecting us to report a foul or expecting switching on ever foul. Hell there are guys that do not even use all the signal mechanics and no one cares even the participants. I would be glad I do not work for the people you work for because I would not work for them if you are giving me 4 and 5 games in a row. Sorry, not happening.

I used to work a league that used one man officiating. I used to sprint all over the court. There is a thread that is about one person mechanics and usually the recommendations are to run from 3 point line to 3 point line. I would go all over the court and never stopped anywhere and would officiate wherever I needed an angle. Then when I work games now, I sprint to get into position during live ball and have to do so more often if because these leagues do not always run standard offenses. Again, you keep talking about me as if I am responding to only what I do. You came on here talking like you are the one sitting the standard for everyone and because some people have taking you on then they are taking it personally. I find that rather interesting. If you did not want people to respond to what you had to say, why did you put it out there in the first place? My comments are not about me, my comments are about what is should be expected and you have every right to disagree.
I know a lot of officials across the country, not just here. No one I have ever come in personal contact with does what you suggest. Not a one. And that includes guys that work D1 and other levels when it comes to this issue. I have seen for myself guys work games that have a much bigger background in officiating than you or I and hardly run when working for $20. So I guess this is about them too because they would not achieve your standards too?
Peace
