Hell, the pro US basketball players are coddled, do not stay with the other athletes which is the way it has been since the first "Dream Team". IMO, one of the worst things they do is tout the medal count. What I do watch, I watch to appreciate the sport and skill of all the athletes

Pretty sure. I didn't read the application before I posted. I was still assuming Elite was required, and I've got 0/2 qualifying ASA/USA Nationals under my belt at this point, so there's that.

Even then, some (I can attest) never get assignments, even if a more highly rated umpire at that certification school. Politics play a hand here.
