I hear you, but this just shows the level of training and selection that go into making the decision to hire an official. Here's an example of the screening process:
"We need a ref for Sat., 10:00 AM. You interested?"
"How much?"
"$17, games last only 1 hour."
"I'll be there." The end.
I know, b/c I officiated as a way of working my way through college. Now, I know a little bit about basketball, so any given league I worked for got "lucky." But, it certainly wasn't b/c they looked for qualified people. They just wanted bodies.
