I do not work for him so I really am not concerned what he thinks.

Good for you. But as people pointed out that those standards you quoted did not include the thing you are advocating. That says it all.

I get paid around $60 a game for a high school game. I get over $100 for a college game (in some cases $150). I am not exerting the same amount of energy for one high school or college game that I am working for an AAU game. And no one I know that works is doing the same either. I even worked at a college game a couple of "paid" games and I can tell you that I did not do the same things during the "paid" game as I did when the camp games were going on. And no one did when I watched them work. But if you claim you do that is fine with me. And I will even take it a step further, I know many officials that will not hustle that much during live ball play. Why? Because they are being paid a fraction of what they would make and you are asking them to work multiple games in a row or over the course of a few days. And that is why many people here are calling what you saying as BS.
Look, do what you want and expect what you want, but do not expect that people will agree with you.
