I have found this year that the 2 hardest call to make (for me) are:
1) Whether or not to call a held ball or a holding foul when there are a number of held balls in a game.
2) Making an obvious call(i.e. carry) when the coach (and afns) are riding you unmercifully to call it. This one happened last night. The coach wasn't so bad but the fans were crazy about it. I was watching closely and when I finally had a good angle the player was clearly carrying. I called it because it was a violation but you could clearly tell that the fans now thought they could control me and the opposing coach was pretty upset because he now thinks I'm listening to the fans. This is hard for me.
