Knowing Larry as well as I do, he's well above taking the higher assignment for glory.

SRW reads me correctly. In my experience, my assigners have been willing to work with the umpires who call mulitiple levels. We have rec ball, HS, JUCO, and NCAA going on at the same time in FL. If there isn't another qualified umpire readily available, I will undoubtedly stand by my commitment. I would never say yes to a college game until my HS assigner releases me.
These days I'm happy to be able to get on the field for ANY game.
