Isn't that true in many states?

While there may be a real issue there, it doesn't matter who you send....many are going to feel they should have gone instead those get selected. The basic fact is that there are very limited slots and a lot of people that want them.

Also, I find it hilarious that a 10 year official things he's getting unfair treatment because he hadn't been selected yet. I'm not sure we've sent an official from our association with under 10 years experience at all in modern history. 10-15 years for the first tourney is fairly typical.

I agree. There are always going to be officials that feel that they should have been picked over someone else. And even when you move through the playoffs (at least in our system) there are those that feel they should have moved before someone else. This will never end no matter the race, gender, area, experience level and background.

Ten years around here might be a little long here, but then again everyone makes the playoffs here, so they need more officials. But then again getting playoff games changes from one gender or one level to another.
