Quite often the biggest impediments to moving up have nothing to do with basketball or physique. A good friend - and an amazing official - lives in a small town in Alaska. Nearest airport is about a 3 hour drive away, and then flying to any major college towns is another 5 plus hours. He's not going to get many D-1 contracts regardless of how good he is...another good friend has a job that requires him to be on call (transporting federal prisoners) and available on short notice - again, going to impact whether D-1 commissioners want to hire him.
