Carbide, I hafta differ with you, and also ask, "what is a good game?"

Is it one with no arguments?

One where calls "went both ways?"

One where there are few player and coaching errors?

IMHO, the players dictate the game, and to a lesser degree. coaches. We umps record history.

A "good" official must often jump into the game, especially where unusual plays are concerned. I find myself doing this often.

See my new thread.
