I value this forum as a way to get feedback on a situation that I have encountered while officiating. as you may have already noticed, there can be a wide array of perspectives which enhances my understanding of the rules and game management.
I also use it to learn from others' "situations" to hopefullly avoid icky situations.... So, in a way, this is preventative officiating.
Oooo yah! I also use it as a place to vent about coaches, players, and fans!!!
