I am not begrudging you at all about wanting to work a high school game over a college game. That is a very common situation for most officials, especially when they think working college has requirements are too much like the travel. And yes the travel most of the time is very long. And I do know that if you work for the right assignor at the D3 level in your area, you are going 3 and 4 hours one way to work games. Not fun when you have to go in a blizzard as well. And this is why when the baseball season starts, I refuse to go very far for college games. I just have the opportunity to work games very close without having to work go an hour to work a game in that sport. Basketball is a little more competitive and it is harder to work those same games during the basketball season.
