I've heard from colleagues that the opposite can also be true, especially those who picked up volleyball (a real money making racket, according to them, especially those guys who are available in the late afternoon, toughest part is climbing the ladder), soccer, and lacrosse. We have a college lacrosse guy on our local basketball board, an outstanding basketball official, who has also achieved success working Division I college lacrosse, without ever having played lacrosse. Many of my basketball colleagues have started officiating high school volleyball, and have seen success, officiating state tournament games, without ever having played interscholastic volleyball, maybe just some volleyball in a middle school, or a high school, physical education class, many years, many pounds, and many hairs, ago.
