I work summer games for #2. Tomorrow, I'll be driving over 50 miles round trip for $30 and three games. It's not for the money; it's because I care about getting better. An assistant coach's comments aren't going to make me care more or try harder.

Hmmmmmm, Snaqs...you usually seem pretty insightful, but I gotta tell you "reason" #2 wouldn't be one of MY reasons for doing 6th grade ball.
When an official is just getting started officiating...you bet...but, I don't really think a veteran official is going to "get better" doing 6th grade ball....they may even pick up some bad habits if they are not careful.
Maybe, #3. To do my assignor a favor.
