Calling all Sport Associations! Has this ever happen to you?

[Mark Padgett]

Sounds like somebody is really tired. Are they at least going to make assignments?

[JRutledge]

I do not believe I would get such a letter. My associations only ranks officials and half the time we do not know who is ranked where.

our association quit doing evaluation about 3 years ago. Some of the "top" ranked officials felt they were getting screwed, so they dropped the evaluators siting lack of funding and qualified evaluators.

2 years ago we evaluated one another and ranked one another.... that lasted 1 year, again, the big guys weren't ranked where they wanted to be ranked. Now they assign the games themselves, play offs and all.

there's no chance to move up. One of the top guys said, "if you are not one of the top officials by your 5th year, you'll never get any better."

I referee because I love basketball. I love the exercise and I just want to give the kids a fair shot every game. I don't care what game I am doing so long as I am fairly compensated for doing it.
