OC: I can understand your frustration. You are trying to be cooperative and follow "orders" from a BIG TIME GONNA GET ME MOVED UP ref. You actually alter your usual way of calling a game to such a degree that it gets you into trouble. THEN, after "brow beating" you into making these poor choices, he hangs you out to dry.
I can also understand avoiding every little ticky-tacky foul, but don't sell out under this pressure and be disgusted and disappointed in yourself. You are being required to disregard (pass on) fouls to "even things up." This all due to some power vet's big shot philosophy (a sure formula for loss of control and disaster). How can this possibly be molding you into a better official? Being true to yourself (and the game) may be more important than moving up in this guy's shadow (for lack of a better word).
The way he "manages" a game has resulted in your loss of respect for him, if you ever had any. Hang in there, work hard, and call your best game every time. It will pay off at the end of the day.
