17 years? I wouldn't take a backseat either. That said. When I reach 17 years of experience I may still be somewhat intimidated by a partner too. In the short time I've been officiating, I have worked with 20 year vets that I have had to carry and I've worked with 5 year guys who I've been totally intimidated working with. Usually, I blow the whistle and when noone bites my head off for it, I feel fine. I then go off from there.
