While that may be true for CYO, AAU, recreation, and travel games here in my little corner of Connecticut, that's not true for board assigned interscholastic games of any level. If one is working a board assigned middle school, freshman, or junior varsity game, one is being evaluated, always by one's partner, but often by a member of our evaluation committee.

The new guys have to start somewhere, and the place to do it is in middle school, freshman, and junior varsity games. One is observed and evaluated in these games, and if one does well, one moves up to the big time.

If one does poorly in these low level games, one will never see the light of day in a varsity game.

Of course, when in Rome ...
