What do you think? It must be nice to have that option.
He probably makes more money at the college game than what he would make working a year of NBA basketball (rookies only make around $80,000) in his first year. He probably feels in the long run his opportunities are bigger in the college game. Does he have a regular job? A lot of college officials make a lot of money at their regular jobs and being an NBA official would be a pay cut on many levels. Unless an official was around for several years they are not going to make 6 figures. I am sure Ed Hightower makes 6 figures as a Superintendent of a school district and more than many NBA officials. Why would a guy in that position want to take a pay cut and work NBA games and start from the bottom?

I do not know the answer to these questions; I just think these are things many who do not know about the difference might not be aware of. I think those that work the NBA are great and talented, but there are things that would keep me out of the NBA if I had a chance to do it.

Peace
