Pecking order

Had an official who is a friend, strictly does frosh/soph games with no aspirations. He's a good, dedicated official who studies the rules and takes the game seriously. In my area, there are multiple games going on at one school, freshman A/B, sophomore and Varsity. We all share the same locker room. He talked about some officials who because of their varsity status look down on the underclass officials. I can remember that somewhat when I first started but have to say in the past few years there seems to be more of a brotherhood no matter what level you officiate. I'm in the Chicago area, suburbs. I've always found the deeper I do games in the city, the more friendlier the officials are on all levels for some reason.

Wondering how your areas are regarding rank and attitude.
