Grail,

It sounds to me like you might have taken the last call into the next call. You have to take each call and separate them. If you worry about what you called last, you might not ever make the next opportunity a good one. You really have to be careful in your overall attitude when you call the game. If you blew a call, move on. If you made a great call, move on. You really have to learn to have a short memory. I will also say, try not to take other things on the court with you. This is why it is so important to get to the game site early and have a good pregame and just get relaxed so that you can do the best job possible. Because if you take the fight with your spouse on the court with you, it will affect your game.

We have all had those games where we wish we could just hide and fade away. You just experienced what most veterans have had and will have as time goes on. The issue is to just keep it in perspective and move on. Make the next game the best game you have ever had.

I am sure it will be.

Peace
