It's the last couple of weeks of my 1st season and I didn't bother to sign up for any more MS games. I've been to the same schools, worked the same teams, have talked to the same players and same coaches enough for one year. On top of that I'm still working mostly with other 1st year or 2nd year guys whom have little regards for the proper mechanics.
I want to become a better BB official and move up through the ranks and have asked other 'older' officials to 'mentor' me. They'd like to, but they get assigned to games and "don't want to take away the other games for the younger officials".
Should I resign myself to working small games the assignor doesn't even bother with (Assignor leaves these games open and we all 'volunteer' for them as they fit our schedules.)? Should I mention to the other new guys what we need to be doing better? Like proper signals, court coverage, etc?
I have done a few soph girls and boys, and a couple of girl JV games with a couple of 3 year guys and have gone out of town to do a few all day tourney's. But this first season seems unfulfilled for some reason and I cannot wait for the football season to begin again.
Any thoughts, comments or advice?
