We have had several retirees/newbies who have a big impact at the subvarsity level. One had the time to reformat old NFHS exams and convince the county to start testing and certifying wreck refs.
But, these guys all do it because they enjoy it. The money was secondary. Young and old alike think you can make a living as a referee, and several dozen NBA refs actually do.
Luckily I convinced my son to go to college and let referee money merely supplement his income as a sports journalist.
