New Referee on the town -- need advice

[tref]

No no no, not saying that, never said anything like that.

If the entire State is 2 person, what can you do?? Work those games, get better & hope to move up to college ball.

Just speaking for myself. All of our majors have 3 person crews (except the one switching back this season) & some of our 3As have 3 person as well, depending on who you're working for. If all we had was 2s & I wasnt so spoiled by getting 3s early on, I wouldn't know any different & I probably still couldn't wait til game night!

Let's be perfectly clear.

I said:

in most cases, it's not as if those working on a 2-man crew have a choice in the matter.

to which you said

Thats where you're wrong, we are independent contractors & we either accept or decline assignments.

My point still stands. It's not as cut and dry as just saying "if you don't like it, don't accept the game."

You may have a choice, but for a lot of officials, it's not really a choice at all. You do the games you get assigned, or you don't get assigned any more games.

Got it. All I can say to those officials is... IT SUCKS 4 YOU!! LOL
Really though, they can't miss what they never had.

The posts in the thread have been very good and informative. BUT, I think we have been had by the Author of this thread. He just joined the Forum and has not returned to the Forum since starting the thread, coupled with the fact his command of the English language leads me to believe that he was a troll.

There's no reason to believe that...perhaps English is not the poster's first language and just because he hasn't visited in the past 24 hours doesn't mean he hasn't either a.)visited as a guest or b.)just hasn't been able to get on in the past 24 hours.

Or maybe he's just intentionally trying to get under bob's skin

IMO, a couple of people seem to be trying to get under the skins of several others.

Can't speak for all of the others, but I'm not really bothered by it.

Thanks. English is not my first language. Getting there.
