I decided last year to make a concerted effort not to be "one of those guys" and be the guy in the association that my assignor thinks of when he thinks "now, I need a guy I know I can rely on who's not going to be a whiner." I don't turn games down, even if it means working with a guy I don't especially like or against a coach I've had problems with or in a gym that's a little further than I want to drive that day.

And, just a few weeks ago, during my evaluation, he said pretty much that (that I was a guy he could always rely on), and my name has come up in discussions of which JV officials to put in the "transition pool" next year.

So, I think it helps a LOT to be "low maintenance" and just be the guy that can be relied on.
Not to run this thread off topic, but here is a very good post by BITS about working with assigners Quick Question.....
