Ahem....
Here in NVA/DC (home to exceptional weathermen) we're getting very chilly RAIN. All schools closed and night activities cancelled.
I lost two (FB/JVB). ![]()

$200 is a lot to me right now. I just turned 26 last week, I can't get a damn job because of this economy the way it is, and I got a bunch of credit card bills and student loans to pay. I'm not saying I'm in this job just for the money, but it does help to make money when you do a service. I need this money.

Experience may cause Representing to view this situation differently five years from now. For now, this is a big deal, perhaps, for him. A young guy blowing off some steam about something that could have gone better. We have all encountered coaches in the same position. The best we can do is attempt to understand their position, articulate as best we can the way things are, help them understand why things are the way they are, and hope that information can be applied moving forward. |

I would say the same about officiating: I don't do it for the money, I do it because I love it. My primary motivation doesn't require me to return the money, and doesn't make me a hypocrite for keeping it. The fact, if it is a fact, that many younger officials value the money more than some older officials probably says more about the marginal utility of money than about the officials.

I don't do this for the money either - I just love doing it which is why I've kept with it so many years. My daughter started doing it for the money. She played in HS and loved it. When she went to college she found she could work at a fast food place or a store and make minimum wage. She asked what games paid and I told her. She asked me to help her get "into" it and I did. She still works the lower level but has done a few JV games. She does a lot of the weekend tournment games. She likes doing it but will also admit a large part of her motivation is that she can make as much in an hour than she would in 5-6 hours somewhere else and has more time to study. It's how she is paying for books etc.
