Wow!
When you are working middle school, JV and rec ball...NEWSFLASH...you are going to have bad partners.
That said, David, you have several officials...all working high school varsity, state playoffs HS varsity, college ball of varying levels, and someone who hires, trains and fires officials...telling you what you are proposing isn't going to cut it, if you want to be the best official you can be.
That isn't our collective egos talking...FYI, you're the one spouting the get it right line, as if only you can get it right...it's experience, working knowledge of how things work, and most important WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF HOW THINGS WORK WITH PARTNERS YOU TRUST!
So my advice is pay attention...I work some middle school, youth, and rec ball too, along with the higher levels that I do...I do this because I love officiating and these games give me some extra cash, and chances to work on my game without the pressure, but it also gives me the chance to do my part in making some of the officials I work with at that level better.
Some are eager to learn the RIGHT WAY to do things.
Some don't want any part of improving and insist on making calls all over the court, many of which ARE WRONG BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT IN POSITION TO SEE THE ENTIRE PLAY, care to guess who was?
