Were you expecting to get there together? I am assuming you are working that level and they are not right? And I can discern that you are working the Championship week or weekend?
Well first of all congrats. Secondly unless there is a typical expectation that you would work with friends, why would you be upset or not as happy about that? They should be happy or ecstatic for you most of all. Officiating is a fraternity and we all are not going to get to the same places as others at the same time. Without getting too deep into our system, we have a pecking order and get advanced in our system individually. We never can guarantee getting there at the same time as other officials. I am very happy for those that have advanced further than me. And if and when I get there in basketball, I would just want the support of those friends that I worked with that were there. I also do not look at those accomplishments as strictly individual. I tend to look at these things as a group thing based on how many people have helped them or gave them a shot. I guess I hope that your friends are not "happy" for you, that is sad. If you are feeling this way on your own, not sure why you would be worried about who you are with. Enjoy the experience and support your friends if they get there in the coming years. Peace

I really need to sharpen up my writing skills
No I wasnt expecting to work a game with any friends. And they are all happy for me, but a few are just totally upset by not meeting their personal expectations. Tough to be totally happy, while feeling their pain. In past seasons, we all made it together, different levels, but together. Thanks JRut!

I seldom get enough votes from coaches to work the state tournament. Not a big deal for me because, with very few exceptions, those that make the tournament are usually much better than me. I do enjoy going out to watch my colleagues. I usually walk into the gym and say to them, "Gee? I thought, for sure, that they would have sent really good officials to this game?" Their usual response: "And you would be wrong". Once I walked in to see three very experienced veterans. I said to them, "Did they decide to send the three oldest officials to this game?" One replied, "No. They sent the three officials with the least amount of hair." He was right.

I crew-chiefed a boys quarter-final game last year for my first state appearance. But we're in the midst of a political struggle down here and my association didn't have enough public schools to qualify anyone to work the state tourney this year. L-3 is recruiting me to join him up north if things fall apart permanently for my association this off-season. lcubed is one of those good guys in officiating who is always genuinely supportive and happy when his brethren have success.
