Rainmaker:
Not sure how long you have been officiating -- you may have stated how long and I missed it, but I understand where you are coming from. I have been officiating basketball for 6 years (did soccer for 22 years) and I was recently selected to attend what we call our "evaluation league" which is a varsity level league. In order for us to move up, we have to attend this league (unless you transferred in at the varsity level). If we do well in this league, we are selected for the "swing list" and eventually (we hope) to the varsity level. I had some of the same concerns you have when I first started. I "knew" I could do it, but there is always that little bit of doubt, nervousness, etc. From reading your posts, you seem to be a student of the game and you are looking to become a better official. I congratulate you for this. Right or wrong, it seems that we are accepted sometimes because we "look good" -- uniform, shoes, positioning, reporting, etc. Keep up the good work!
