New college ref advice

[Rich]

There are a lot of areas where one of two things happens:

(1) HS hoops is dominated by old boy networks and officials make the jump from subvarsity HS right to college ball.

(2) JuCo isn't much to sneeze at.

Only you know your area.

I don't know of any college coordinator who wouldn't back you in that situation.

In HS, there's always a chance the HC doesn't work for the school so he/she may not care or may not be as easily affected by the school's administration.

I got some clarification from a big dawg in the conference and he pish-shawed the M-F stuff, saying what I was told earlier is ridiculous. He basically said that if a coach comes after ME personally, that's an easy one... Good to know that I don't have to put up with a different standard of BS at the Juco level.
