After reading all these posts, most from officials with far more experience than I, it is crystal clear that most assignors want a call on every collision. It also seems clear that very few of us are comfortable blowing whistles on plays that we didn't see from start to finish. It seems to me that what the assignors are saying is that they are looking for officials who are rarely out of position, referee the defense, and are consistant when they have to blow the whistle. So, the answer to this question is bust your butt to get into position, referee the defense, and be consistant.
