Let me start by saying I am not in the "get the call right at all costs" camp. I believe when I work with other officials, my job is to work the game and do my job. I am part of a team and when I start doing everyone's job the team will suffer. I will help my partner when we have some dual area stuff. But I do not feel I should take over the game because I am the veteran. The only way a young official is going to learn is to go through the hardships of getting plays wrong and learning from this. I know I have made my share of mistakes and have become a better official because I was not coddled by my partners.

Peace
