It Pays To Stick Around ...
My first varsity game was one where one of the varsity offcials didn't show up for a game after my junior varsity game.
Today, this would very seldom happen. Here in my little corner of Connecticut, many of our subvarsity officials walk off the court, put on their coat, and are out the door, without even taking a shower. Back in the olden days, subvarsity officials would stay and watch at least half of the varsity game. That's the best way to learn how to become a good offcial.
Of course, back then we walked to all of our games. Uphill. Both ways. In the snow.
