As officials move up the food chain, more is required at each level - with rules expertise, mechanics, and judgement. Remember that.
Officials can get away with things in a little league or rec level game that would get just as quick & maybe more severe "punishmnet" in a high school game.
Officials can get away with things in a high school game that would get just as quick & maybe more sever "punishment" in a college game. And there are different levels within college games - they call them divisions - and what is OK in a D3 game may not be in a D1 game.
As officials move up, more is required. If I do not meet the requirements, I might get away with it, but I would expect to hear about "what happened, why didn't I meet those requirements!?".
You'll learn this if you progress, Dan.
