I have never refereed for the game or the players and never will.

Then why do you do it?

So what? It's not uncommon at all, especially in states like mine where you pretty much can't get a single varsity game until your fifth year.

No, I am asking to clarify because the way he wrote it is ambiguous whether he actually works college or not.

Here, in my little corner of Connecticut, under our old rating/ranking system, it was impossible to work a high school varsity game until one's fifth year, with no chance of getting a full varsity schedule until one's eighth year. That changed with our new rating system, with no minimum experience requirements. If the observation team believes that one is good enough to move up, one moves up, whether it's one's second year, or twentieth year.

We've had several college officials (mostly D-III), with no high school varsity games under their belts.

I started out because I needed money when I divorced my first wife. Now I do it cuz I like refereeing and I want to see how far I can advance. I've never done it for the players or the game.

There are lots of reasons why I officiate basketball. Once I'm actually out on the court, I want to do a good job for lots of reasons, one is to do a good job because the players deserve a well officiated game, another is to do a good job for the integrity of the game, these two in addition to a lot of other reasons, including, hot single Moms love a man in uniform.
