I have never had that specific problem. That is beat into our heads around here in camp. We are always told to take a few steps. But I have noticed some other things I have done when I watched myself on tape. Not recently, but I did notice that I would not run sometimes after calling a foul to the spot to report the foul. I noticed that I would not give enough time in between different counts on the 5 second rule (between dribble and hold or even being closely guarded and then not being closely guarded). Most of the things I noticed were very little things that you do not ever really think about. Nothing really major in what I call or what I do not call. But that is what tape is for.

Yes we can. But the problem is that many schools do not send tape so I can watch the games I have officiate. Usually I ask and they say, "sure we will send that to you," and you never hear from them at all. I have already asked about 5 times this year and I have gotten one tape. And that was a college scrimmage. It was very helpful, but I wanted to see more plays and situations I was in.

It is always good to see yourself work. Especially when you go to camp and you can hear about the silly mistakes you might make. I have had a few times where they taped and that was so valuable, I cannot put that into words.
Peace
