So you contract directly with the schools? That might explain why you do it that way there.

tomegun and I might not be the most popular officials in that type of system.

Yes. The schools/coaches schedule with the officials directly. Like I said in another thread, I already have my schedule for the 2013-14 season. In the Metro areas they do have assignors, but only in the OKC and Tulsa area.

If I would have took up officiating 14 years earlier than I did then my career would have started out in Altus. I would probably not have lasted too long in that type of system.

I lived there from '87-89 so I witnessed Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders play college football and OU make the NCAA title game with Lawton's own Stacy King on the team.

Best thing about those years is the Dallas Cowboys were absolutely putrid so I didn't have to deal with their fans.

Back on topic, I wish our state organization was more proactive about evaluating officials during the season.
