the original topic was......

When moving up from one level to the next tell yourself (this has a large degree of truth) that this will be easier. In a way it is easier because the higher the quality of the game, the easier it is to call. (less than 40 held balls per half) The speed of the players involved may make an official's job more physically demanding, but better players tend to do more things right, less violations to call, less trips up and down the court because of unforced errors (a pass 10 feet over somebody's head) etc. To me, if you call a 6th grade girls game first, calling an 8th grade boys game afterward is like getting out of jail.
