This may start some controversy but that is okay but I have a injured foot and time to think while I am on break.I just read a article in Referee magazine where the author says the only way to move up is by availability.I'm not bitter I'm happy doing Var.H.S. and lower H.S. as needed but I had a bitter older guy say once that the only reason the avail. issue is constantly brought up by assign. guys is they need bodies for the as he said crappy games.I will say this seems more true in basketball than softball.From my view it seems word of mouth from coaches,other officials and political connections mean way more than availability.I see lots of guys move up who aren't the most available.Like I said I have no problem with this I just think its a myth and maybe I'm wrong.
