Why do High School officials dislike College officials so much?

You don't get out much do you? That's another generalization that's a complete load of doo-doo imo. I've seen many D3 and JUCO teams that would get killed by any good high school program. I've also seen good teams at that level that would beat most high school programs.

You have to rate teams individually, the same way that you rate officials.

I normally stay out of grown up conversations. However, this discussion identify for me that all of this is personality driven by the individual(s) involved.

High school teams are not even close to college teams. A team like St. Anthony or St. Pat's? They might be able to compete with a very weak non-scholly JC or D-3 team, but a D-1 JC or any other scholarship team would crush any high school team in the country. Any other high schools have no chance. The age and physical maturity difference is enormous.

I'm also glad you've seen "good teams at that level that would beat most high school programs". Does that mean a good NBA team would beat most NCAA teams, too?

A good NBA team can't beat Italy,Spain, Argentina, Greece, Puerto Rico, etc., etc.

Amen to that!

Uh, actually the opposite may be true. We might be better off sending a good NBA team to the Olympics instead of an all-star team. However, a good NBA team will probably have someone from another country on it so it wouldn't be the complete team anyway.

Or in the case of some teams "many someones."
