I worked with 2 less experienced officials last weekend. The main discussion was to work your primary. There are 3 of us out there and we all don't need to be watching the ball. If you feel the need to go fishing, you better be casting for whales and not minnows. At half-time we talked about positioning some more and rotations, moving to improve. This helped somewhat in the second half. I just touch on call selection because I did not have his/her angle and may have seen something differently. Also, if I'm looking in his area to see if he was right or wrong, who was watching my primary?

One official was concerned and he stayed after and we talked a lot about the game and calls made, the other got his check and left. One thing I pointed out was that with experience, you will generally know where you screwed up a rotation, weren't in proper position to get the call, things of that nature. Nobody is perfect, work your game and strive to get better.
