Got my first game action last night and it went pretty well. But I've noticed a quirk in my technique that I started doing last year toward the end of the season that I started doing this first time out.

The quirk is, on some plays I see what's happening and I think I want to make a call. But some where between blowing the whistle to complete the call my right arm goes half way up and I don't blow the whistle. So far I haven't gotten any negative feedback from players, coaches, spectators, or my partners. This is rec ball, but if I'm to advance, I'd like to correct this emerging habit.

My opinion is, that I'm anxious to make the call, but descretion takes over and in my mind it becomes a "no call."

Has anyone else experienced this?

What are your opinions?

What are your suggestions?
This is progress - you've learned to hold your whistle until the play is completed. Problem is your arm hasn't gotten the news yet...no biggie, only problem is if you happen to run into a yapping coach who notices this and might use it against you. But again, no biggie, as long as you get the call right he has nothing to complain about IMO.

Keep working hard it will come together
