despite the humor involved, what the people I talk to are looking for is someone who has excelent knowledge of the rules, and how to enforce them in the context of the game at hand. They are looking for someone who is a good communicator, a manager, a leader, and can bring out the best in thier partners weather they are the "R" or the "U2" on the game.
I am sure J Rut might have some comments about this specific phrase.

Whether I'm the R, U1, or U2 on my game, I'm there to run it, not stand around like a wallflower while someone else does. Getting assigned to a position in a HS game doesn't change that.

Tonight I'll be the U in a 2-person boys game, guess I don't have to work.

So you do exactly what the assignors, evaluators are looking for. that is great.
I can count on one hand this year, the number of High school partners I worked with that had that attitude when not the R, and unfortuanately not many more of the college people were stepping up either.
