I know that a lot of you guys work this way, and I'm sure that there are lots of advantages to it.
Here, in my little corner of Connecticut, we don't do it that way. We have 325 officials, about 80 who work varsity games, and about another 25 that work both varsity, and subvarsity, (we call these "split" officials) games.
I seldom work with the same partner in a season, and I like it that way. I get to work with state tournament veterans, first year varsity guys, and everybody in between. Sometimes I'm learning, and sometimes I'm teaching, and I'm always getting to meet new guys. Even if I was working with the best official on my local board, I'm sure that, eventually, I would become bored, or complacent, if I worked forty games a year with him.
