There is the rulebook, and then there is game management. They are inextricably intertwined, and to simply 'call the rules' without 'managing' the game results in poor-to-middling games, unnecessary conflict, and a stalled career. Game management separates the poor/mediocre from the good/great.
Don't ever think you can just 'call the rulebook' and move up beyond middle school ball.
