Being a second year official, I take the following approach. Do not give me advise unless you have an evaluation form in your hand. Why do I say this? A person cannot remember everything and most focus on the bad. You may come to me discussing your pet peeves. The form which will have comments written on it shows the person being evaluated the area where work in most needed. The comments will displaying genuine concern about the job being done.
I approach officiating like a job. I cannot improve my work unless, I have some paperwork where I can go reference to stay the course.

Wow!
All I can say is you're gonna be very happy person then because I don't think too many officials will be going out of their way to try to help you again after the first time you come at 'em with that one. I know I'd tell ya Sayonara.

I am not looking for any misunderstandings here. All, I am saying if you can find the time to make any comments make it worthwhile by have an evaluation form with you. [/B][/QUOTE]
Arrogance + ignorance = a very short officiating career.
You want feedback on an official form?
Bring an evaluation form, with all your personal info already filled out, a stamped, addressed envelope and hand it to the varsity official and say,
"Would you please be kind enough to fill this out, I'd really appreciate it."
We are not there for you, we are there for our game, and if we feel like giving back to the vocation and mentoring you, grin and bare it.
You want more out of that exchange, the onus is
ON YOU not the officials that have earned it already.
