deecee...as a fellow official, I appreciate your enthusiasm.
But, that's about where my appreciation ends.
You are a realatively new official...at least you sound like one...and you come in here talking to much, IMO.

Give it a couple of years before you start spouting philosophies and incorrect rule procedures. Heck, you're still wet behind the ears and you're talking like you are a know it all. You seem argumentative when a veteran official trys to talk to you. Dude, that's not going to get you far...at least not in my region.

As far as letting lower level players (Frosh, Soph, JV) get away with things.
Again, you have a total opposite view of what the veterans around here want. We like the lower level officials to enforce the rules the way they are written...that way when the players get up to Varsity ball...we don't have to "train" them...they already know what is expected. SHOW the veterans you have the "balls" you talk about having instead of just TALKING.

And listen a little more...IMO.
Take it or leave it.
