While I think that's true in MOST cases, there are some cases where that just isn't the case. Sometimes availability of time (willing to travel all over to officiate), attending assignor camps, and having good connections is just as important. I'm not saying this official is poor... but we have had discussions on this board before where we have crucified a young official because they gave the traveling signal for an inbounds violation. Just because this official was doing a D-1 game, we don't hold this official to the same standard?

IMO NO because until anyone of us gets there and has to sell a call such of this in front of a national TV audience we have no place questioning the use of this call in this sitch. I have already stated for previously stated reasons that this signal is not acceptable in lower level situations.
