Why do High School officials dislike College officials so much?

Joey is a troll. And not a very good one either.

Mark Padgett use to pull this over on McGriffs every now and then just for giggles.

Naw, it's not really that funny.

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 nom de net, my friend. Not very apt, at all.

Please show me where I said anything bad about HS officials????

I had no intent of offending anyone just seeing if this went on elsewhere around the country and obviously some agree with me that it does.


Geeeez!

No Hoey (or whatever) may be on to something.

I am a college official, and I am a high school official. I really dislike myself sometimes.

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.

I agree with you and do the same as you when I'm on a high school game. I have been in that position when information i learned is passed to someone who just does high school. Even in a game, they give you that look when you pass on something or tell them something, like going over to help with an o.b. call and they don't want to change it. I just want to get the play right and work the best game possible. Unfortunately because of my age most guys probably think I'm a young officials who thinks I'm the **** and trying to big time them because I work a higher level they never got to.
O well.....
