I officiated a dbl header with a varstiy boys and girls to follow. We did have a good solid pregame. I felt good about the game for the most part. There always seems to be a play or call that you wish you would have handled a little differently. I guess this will come with time and experience. Some things are starting to become more and more of a reaction while other things are a little slow to register. Traveling and carrying the ball are two calls that I used to have to think about - but know are becoming automatic for me. On some fouls, I am concentrating pretty hard on LGP and advantage/disadvantage, and my whistle is just a little late on some calls. Which sometimes doesn't go over to well. If I am a little late with the whistle, I usually try to sell it a little harder. I feel pretty confident when protecting the shooter, however, when the shot is released and the shooter has not returned to the floor and then might be bumped - I am still a little unsure of how much I should let go here. I went into last night contest with a few things in mind - work hard to get into postion to see the play so that I can call it and then once that is done move on, instead of over analyzing it, and find the next play. And then I forced myself to watch my primary. I felt like we had two good games. I have another tough match up tonight - varsity boys. End of the season - one team undefeated and the other team on a ten game win streak. I can't wait!
