DUDE!
Dont want to sound mean or anything, but I will ask this question... As a Rookie, How could you possibly know enough about basketball officiating to take on the likes of Rut?
I know that we all here dont see eye to eye on everything, and I have never worked with him ever, but based on what I have seen him post I figure him to be reasonably prgamatic.
Here's my advice for the 2 cents its worth. You asked learn from what you asked. We all may be blowing some up your skirt ( Sorry Juulie) but we have been around.
I can tell you from experience, rookies who want to challenge senior officials everytime will last in officiating circles about as long as a shot clock in the NBA. I can tell you there are times when common sense prevails, but unless it is pregamed, unless it is communicated, stick with the book.
I did an evaluation once with a rookie who was trying to tell me a the reason he stood where he was standing on the floor (Trail about 2 steps in FC) was because the team was playing spread offense. He did not move from the magical spot all night. He had no idea what he was talking about... It was his 5th or 6th game ever...
Just be careful
