everyone probably has "this guy"

I wouldn't say he's "overly casual" w/ coaches/players, but he knows many of them from his other sports connections. Not over-officious in softball, perhaps leans a bit too far in the opposite direction.

Overall, he's a competent official when he's there. But there are often times excuses why he can't work a lower paying game/league or a turn back of games so he can jump to something more lucrative. Definitely not a "loyal to our association" guy.

In all honesty, I wasn't trying to pick on your "that guy". I was just filling out the stereotype of "those guys" that I've worked with. In this case, he simply seems loyal to the Almighty Dollar.
