JN - good post. I learned something from that I might add. One thing I didn't do was keep a journal of the year. This was my 1st year at referee and had 2 rookies on my crew and we had a very successful season. With the level of experience we had you might expect that we should have a shoddy year at best. I did my best to keep everyone prepared with good pre-games, etc. which contributed to success. But recording stuff helps you retain even the little things that perhaps happened in week 2 for example. While everything is fresh in my mind I think I'll use the immediate offseason time to record everything I'm thinking and share it with everyone in the offseason so we can be even better next year. Excellent idea...thanks!
