Sorry if I was unclear baldy. I was completely agreeing with your comment about having passion, but disagreeing only with the coaches' stupid comment about doing it "for the money".
I think that you are exactly right about being into the game that we're working, no matter the level. In fact, at camp this summer, they were describing a good official. What do you need? "Passion" was #1 on the list. "Court awareness" was #2.
Maybe Dan remembers the last one. . .
