Which may be in fact great, BUT...if I dont ask for help"which is rare" I shouldnt be subjected to there smug attitude. By the way I have NEVER said a disrespectful word to a varsity official! I grin and bare it, just like all the rest of the rookies. The only place that I can voice these concerns is HERE!!......where nobody knows me!!!!!!!!!

No "attitide" intended. Just an attempt to give an honest reply to your question. You do seem to be very sensitive about this whole issue. Agreed -- there are some major leauge egos out there. But there also a lot of helpful comments -- most of which come from people who have made their share of their mistakes. I've had officials who can barely make the right call twice in one game give me advice I didn't want or need. I say, "Thank you" and go on. You can learn from any official -- even the very bad ones. You've already learned that you don't want to come off as a "know it all" to newer officials.
