assigning question
Someone I know moved to AZ (highly regarded and respected) to do high school basketball in the Tucson/Phoenix area. I understand the state assigns officials. Where I'm from individual conferences pick an assignor (pay him/her) and they assign officials to games.
I'm curious those of you who have moved from one state to another what has your experience been? Has it been postive or negagtive. What were your expectations? eg. Did you expect to start at the bottom and work your way up or did you expect to stay at the same level or something in between? |

I moved to AZ (and then away again), but felt like I was treated very fairly in Phoenix. You are initially assigned a ranking that is just for officials who transfer into the state and being a state with a large influx of people, they get a lot of transfers each year. They hold a scrimmage prior to the season (1st or 2nd week of Nov) with two teams participating where the transfer officials can show their stuff on the court. It was a game situation and we wore our full uniforms. The GPBOAC (the governing body for officials in Phoenix) had a committee there to watch and rank officials on the spot and the AIA assigner was present too. You were assigned a random partner and did a full quarter (with a stopped clock).
I thought it was perfectly fair and I was assigned right were I thought I should be. I was afraid that I would be assigned games at a lower level than I had worked for the previous 10 years, but that was not the case. In AZ, you have a permanent partner and that was a little difficult to deal with because I didn't know the officials and they didn't know me, so i worked as a floater for the first half of the season. At that point, I filled in permanently for a guy who broke his ankle. It was overwhelmingly positive for me.
