JV Games

Long string here, this may have been said, but I think this is a touchy subject. Assuming you are a better official because you work the 7:00 game vs. the 5:30 game is poor judgement.

I work plenty of Varsity and sub-Varsity games - I appreciate feedback no matter which game I work. However, feedback should only be offered when asked for. I have a real problem when the Varsity crew starts offering unsolicited advice and then on the court and don't do some of the same things we just got done talking about.

It is, but I think we are living in a fantasy world if we think that most officials that are capable are working the lower level game just to get home quicker. I find that funny because a lot of guys like to be away from home and would like to go out drinking on a Friday or Saturday and not be home.

And many do have a problem, but many do not ask for any feedback either. And many go on wondering why they never get varsity games.

A few years ago I would have went the beer drinking route and staying out with the guys. Now with all the DUI check points we have here in Va. drinking with the guys while driving home from a game or after the game almost guarantees you a nice set of braclets to wear to the county jail. Plus if you have a job and get home around 11 pm and back up by 5 am and then work all day and then another game that evening is kinda tiring.
