Reading about this guy/girl from the other post I would come up with one of two options:

1. He/she had a powerful person speaking on their behalf to make it to the D1 level. If this is the case I would say they neither deserver to be there or work on crews where they get protected. Someone has to be an idiot to give the ball to the wrong team to make a coach mad and a super moron to come on a forum and brag about it.
2. He/she isn't telling the truth and they aren't in D1.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with only wanted to do HS ball. The only problem I've witnessed is HS officials who don't aspire to get better. A lot of times that might involve a college camp.
There is a lot of BS in HS ball. Well, multiply that by 1,000,000 and that is what college ball is like. The easiest part of college ball is the 40 minutes between the lines. I could leave the rest of it alone in a heart beat. More and more it isn't about what you do on the floor, it is about who you know and other BS.
Another interesting thing I've noticed in the last couple of weeks is this seems to be more on the men's side than the women's side. I know a girl who went to a camp way out of her area and did very well. If she lived on the east coast she would be on the radar of every major conference; for her it was as simple as that. Don't get me wrong, she is very good, but I know she is not into politics and what she did would not happen - at least I don't think so - on the men's side. It hasn't just impacted me, I know many other refs who are deserving of at least a legitimate opportunity and they don't get it. I've heard guys told things like, "you should take up golf" and other things. End of rant - I have many stories I could tell.
