This brings me to a question/comment. I'm in my 2nd full year of officiating football, we have some new guys starting up, but have called other sports. Sometimes I'm not sure how much they know about the rules or mechanics, and I'm afraid to come off like I already know everything since I'm only in my 2nd year. I know where I get confused the most, and I know what was the hardest to grasp. I guess I'm not real sure when to offer advice and when to keep my mouth shut and let them learn through experience. There's alot of stuff that I learn AFTER the game when I keep going over it in my head, then it "clicks". For example, I woke up around 2 am one morning and it suddenly hit my that if a receiver is NOT on the line, he's in the backfield. It was like the lightbulb going on and nobody really had to explain it, (although that would have been nice)
