Somehow I don't see newer officials as a problem of staying in their area. In fact I think when they learn to stay in primary is when they start moving up. They need to learn to stay in prmary before learning what to reach for.

And this is my point. They never learn what to reach for because they are too proud of "staying in their primary".

And BTW, I like to think that for many of us 90% of OUR out of primary calls ARE correct, because we are selective and know when to make those calls.

This might be true for some of us, because we seldom call out of our area.

I would guess I might average one call a game out of my primary. I might have two or three double whistles where my whistle is in my secondary. However, You show me an official who regularly makes calls out of their primary and I'll show you an official who doesn't have a clue.

And you show me an official who refuses to agree that getting the calls right is our MAIN objective and I'll show you an official who does not have a clue.
Interesting how everytime I toss this one up the answer is "Stay in your primary". Get it right is the answer. It's not stay out of my primary, it's not I aint calling it if it's in yours. Just get it right.
Difficult concept? I don't think so :shrug:
