I had the fortunate opportunity to help call two intrasquad Div II college pre-season scrimmages. At the second one, we had 12 officials and I was able to rotate at two positions LJ and BJ. While there, I was "educated" and "encouraged" by a total of five different officials in my association (Two that call regularly on Saturdays). They were all eager to help and give me pointers. The best part was the speed at which the game occured. Things and bodies were flying everywhere but after 2 series, things started slowing down. This made the HS games seem like they were going in slow motion.
I learned a GREAT deal from these guys, it is sad to hear that there are some who seem that they could care less to share their knowledge.
I cant wait for next year to get to do this again !!
