Finding a Crew

There are advantages to a crew. I work 90% of my 3-person games with the same two guys and I know their officiating and personalities inside and out and we complement each other well.

I just don't care for putting all the power in one person's hands. I have one conference here that won't hire me. Period. I'm only in my SIXTH year in the state (21st overall) and he just will not hire me. If he was the only assignor, I would not work at all. Nope, I don't like that system.

On top of that, when I worked in an assignor system, he evenly distributed the games and I would sometimes only have 1 or 2 games a week. We weren't allowed to work down (JV/FR) so we got one game for an entire week. Now if I want to work 6 days a week, I can. It's up to me.
