When it comes time for those in power to decide who gets what assignments, those that appear to serve better will typically get the nod. It may not be fair in some minds, but few things are in the business world. And when we want those assignments, we are looking to do business.

I agree with all of the above, guess I'm just
blessed to be in a area where coaches dont call the shots.
If, in the assignors opinion (regular season), combined opinions of peer/coach/area director/assignor (post-season) & the executive boards opinion (State) you can work, communicate effectively & take care of business on & off the court, you will work. PERIOD.
My point was, coaches who lost a heated game that you worked arent qualified to critique us... they have a dog in the race & are obviously biased.
Working the system is not a bad thing. Some may say I have done just that to get where I am in a short amount of time. But my working of the system does not consist of calls to coaches, brown-nosing the bosses or the like.
Hard work, having the right people in your corner, being a go-getter & positive self-marketing strategies gets it done!!

I've seen those-types as well, but if the talent is not there, that harsh fall that is certain to occur is much quicker than their unrespectable rise to the top.
