I've coached at the varsity, jv and freshman level's of high school and am currently coaching both boy's and girl's teams at the junior high. I love this age group. The kids work hard, are coachable and the parents are usually appreciative. Unfortunately, we often get refs who believe its beneath them to officiate this level... Your job is a thankless one but thank you!

Too bad you are in Arizona. Otherwise, I would invite you to come watch me officiate a high school varsity game. Whether it's at the middle school or high school level, I always strive to give the teams the "best" officiating they deserve to have. There is no level of basketball that is beneath me. I love the sport! Have played as well as coached the sport. Thank you for the kind words and good luck with your Jr. High teams!!
