Cameron Rust, I agree with you. Before I had to stop because of my health issue I could not care less what games I was assigned...to a degree. I wanted a predominate varsity schedule and that is what I received. I was fortunate enough to work a couple of rounds of play-off games the last few years and I was happy. I started officiating so late in life I accepted long ago I would never work higher than that.
But I did, and hope to again, officate becuase I enjoyed it. The money just went to the wife and daughter for shopping...next time it goes into the vacation fund.
I guess if I was younger and wanted to work college it would have mattered more. Oddly enough, my last couple of years a man spoke at a camp I attended. For years he worked a mostly varsity high school schedule and went to a "try-out camp" for a local college assignor. He was told he would never be more than a good high school official...he is currently in his 14th season as an NBA official. Local and college assignors are not always correct in their assessments.
