If you really think my blood pressure is going up over this conversation, maybe you have more to learn about officiating than I thought. And that is really obvious this week as I have several officiating things going on that I have to participate in.
Here you go again. I did not say anything about meeting people and working or not working on mechanics. Actually for me summer ball is used for one reason and one reason only. See more plays. By this time of the year my schedule for the coming season is pretty much set. I do not need summer ball to establish this outside of camps. And certainly not during AAU games. And coaches have no say in if I get hired or not hired in any high school or college league. So that is why I do not give a damn about what they think or do not think of my game. For the record I have had run-ins with coaches only to see them during the regular season and see them realize that what they think of me obviously does not matter. So I do not need their approval of any kind to work games when it counts. Apparently you do need that approval and that is why you take this all to a personal level that I was only commenting on your words about hustle, not our personal stances in officiating.
Peace

JR....relax. This isn't personal. Everything I've said about my experiences in this thread are factual.
I'm ok with the fact you "don't give a damn".
Perhaps move on to another thread you can control or whatever it is you find gratifying.'
edit: and, I never said anything about "needing coach's approval". you assume that to be true. in reality, i have fun what i do. it's a people business.
