handchecking, postplay, 3 sec, closely guarded, etc. these are the tempo setters that we set early in the game, to let the players know it will not be allowed. and should be called consistently throughout the game, and season.
this is a pregame check list that leon wood uses.
leon wood-officiated in the sec and umbrella system and is currently staffed with the nba.
1. ref the defense.
2. ref from the inside out/outside in (depending on situation.
3. ref in your primary. if you stay in your primary there is no need for secondary.
4. know your team fouls/personal fouls/score
5. know clock status. game clock/shot clock
6. we set the tempo of the game. (hand checks, trveling, 3 sec.,illegal screens, post up play, off ball coverage)
7. professionalism
8. do not guess
9. concentration (when you lose it go back to the basics)
10. do not compete with your partners!
11. call the obvious
12. be a good partner.
if it is good for him it is good for me

Crew,Leon Wood and BBRef basically gave you the same advice.All the SEC official was trying to tell you was "let the game come to YOU and let what they do dictate what you are going to call".That concept hasn't changed at all. The players set the tempo of the game.We THEN have to react to the way they are playing by imposing our own standards,as per BBRef and Leon Wood.Re-read BBRef's post.There's a lot of good advice there.It might help you as an official to spend a little bit more time listening than talking.
