From that pool, one would also reasonably expect that those officials who can best do the job will be selected. Funny enough, often that means those officials who have excelled at even higher levels will be chosen. You can argue all day long about whether those officials work higher levels because they're better, or whether they got better by working higher levels. You can even posit that some are just lucky schmucks who really don't even deserve good HS varsity games. C'est la vie. |

I intend to agree with you JRutledge. Working both h.s. and college, I agree before I I got hired I was a very technical h.s. official. By the book, mechanics, black and white on the rules. When I got hired i started to pull away. Not saying we are no it all's, but some of us at the college level have a little more info than h.s. guys. Being a rule know it all can get you in trouble if you don't how and when to apply the rule. Preventive officiating in h.s. game can save the game when it comes time to be technical. |

I don't like newbies who take a pro official's name as his user name. :) |

I am a college official, and I am a high school official. I really dislike myself sometimes. :p |
I'm also a college official and a high school official. I use my experience in college camps and games to make my high school games better. I think resentment comes from how information is relayed and accepted. Some college officials do not do a good job of passing along information without seemingly talking down to high school officials and many high school officials can't accept information when it is given.
Personally, I don't try to pass on as much information as I used to because the high school officials I come in contact with don't have the dedication to accept it. For them, it is all about the check. Many officials on this board are dedicated and still would rather do high school only so this isn't a good group to use when guaging this. |

That's what we call people that make nonsensical statements with no other intent than stirring up sh!t. Your blanket statement denigrating high school officials that started this thread is a good example of that. Until you prove otherwise, by maybe adding something positive to this forum in the way of rules, mechanics, officiating philosophy, etc, you will be regarded as nothing but a troll. Joey Crawford was the wrong name to pick as a <i>nom de net</i>, my friend. Not very apt, at all. |
