I understand what you are saying about newbies and people who do not have high aspirations, but I would like to think that I am in a 3rd category. The group which is maintaining a solid core of officials at the JV and lower school levels because it allows them to be positively involved in basketball without sacrificing too much time from their family. Although I have worked a number of "reasonably local" varsity games I prefer to do JV and lower. As mentioned before, varsity level is much more time consuming and can be (the majority of the time) less difficult.
