That may be true in your little corner of officiatingdom. But I think you've read enough posts to realize that MOST officials who work sub-varsity do it because they CHOOSE to, not because it's the only games they can get.

Unless any of us know the exact area in which the OPer lives or knows how or who gave him this particular game, all of us are talking from only personal experience and not the reality in which this person might live. Not everyone is assigned games under the same circumstances and even you Rich your willingness to work lower level games are not the same way others in my area for example are giving games even with the same willingness that you have. Depending on where you live or the conference there are not many games to give out and often those that are newer get those games with maybe one veteran. Here many lower level games are not assigned to 4 and 5 person crews. It is not unusual to get 2 officials on a lower level football game; this limits the veterans that are likely to get those games. One of my closest friends in as assignor and he struggles to get games to younger officials and is not going to ask veterans other than to help support first to work the majority of his games.
Peace

For the OP... it is hard, however you must find a way to communicate with the WH. It may not be pleasant, but if he's not supporting any of your calls, what harm will be done by discussing the situation with him between periods. Be professional, keep your cool, and ask (as others have stated) what he saw in your area that would make him overrule your call/non-call.... |

It benefited me immensely to do the lower level games. I am typically ump on our crew, however, if we have a sub, I am able to step into any position and provide a quality game to the teams because of my lower level refresher games at each position. |
