When someone first starts officiating, they have to get court time. You aren't going to have much control over the level of play or the quality of your partners at this early stage in the game. And, it really doesn't matter. You just need to see plays.

At some point, the good ones start to rise above that. As you rise, you get better games, better partners, better quality ball. As you move up, you will realize at a certain point that working wreck ball no longer helps you improve as an official. In fact, you will get to a point where you feel that it makes you worse (Having your partner make incorrect calls right in front of you, screw up mechanics, miss blatant calls so that you start peering into their coverage area).

When these negative aspects of wreck ball outweigh the benefit of floor time, it is time to quit.
