Is it universal? No. Is it a majority? No. Is it a significant minority? No. But it happens often enough to warrant mention.

And the fact is I've had more bs from college officials working hs games than from hs officials.

For the record I am almost primarily talking about Men's officials and boy's basketball. And Men's mechanics almost entirely mirror what we do at the NF from coverage area to signals. So there are not many "college mechanics" they do that would be in conflict. But there are signals that officials use that are not in any book and it does not matter what level the officials are you will see those from time to time.
