I have no qualms about doing JV & C-Squad games, it's just that how the AD responded is that I may as well be a leper that he wants to keep hiden in a closet by forcing me to remain in the auxilary gym, even though I have the training & experience, as I have previously proven to him that I can handle the main gym.

...but I understand your need to vent. It sounds like you take pride in what you do, have worked at being good at it, and feels that merits some recognition, part of which would be having you work at a higher level. It may seem trivial to others, but you feel what you do is important to the game, and you're right; it is. You're part of the officiating crew, and the more competent all the members of the crew are, the less likely it is we're going to have that night from hell.

Even for officials, sometimes it's necessary to move on to where you're valued and appreciated, and will get the opportunity you're working for. I hope it works out.

The issue at hand is that I've been doing table operations in both gyms for the past couple of years with no issues & now for some unknown reason, am being pushed into working only in the auxilary gym.

The information I pass on about recommendations is to help the others get better, it's just that how can the others learn if they do not see someone applying those recommendations & experiencing first hand what is being asked. I've tried coaching/training one on one & it seems to have fallen on deaf ears as if they do not care if doing things wrong or not.

One of the primary reasons why I am so upset is due to the fact, that like I have stated previously, I have doing table operations in both gyms for the past couple of years. I have been doing table operations in gym 1 during the MS.JH Boys' Games this year, & when the HS season started all of a sudden am basically pushed out of gym 1 without any explanation or asking.

The first home game (December 12th) the regular Varsity timer/scoreboard was out sick & I was not even asked if I wanted to do Varsity timer. Same thing happened again on Saturday.

The AD knew I was there, yet he acted like I didn't exsist.
