plenty of folks drive an hour or more to work at walmart dc in london for 16-18 an hour and they got to eat somewhere too

Nothing wrong with that, but I believe we were talking about after your real job! I don't believe that anyone can do high school officiating as a career, unless they are a college student and doing it to help them through college.


Officials usually have about 3-5 games a week depending on how many home games are in the region. Most of the time they receive one varsity game for $70 unless there are a lot of games in the region that particular night and then they may get to do the jv game as well which is an extra $33.33. So yes you can make some ok money if you get both games a couple of times a week. If you choose to be away from home that many hours a week on top of your day job. They also have to pay KHSAA registration fees and Region assigning fees and go to 4 basketball meetings a year minimum, take a 100 question test to call post season games, and do online clinics. some people just think an official shows up and is able to call a game. There is a lot of different things that has to go on before they are allowed to call games. And if you think they are getting rich making that $70 a game about 3 or 4 times a week, that is comical. :biglmao:
