The very reason I am open and willing for input communication from my partners. I realize there will be those with strong, unchangeable character, but I am trying to develop a method of dealing with this type before I have to. I have been lucky so far in that everyone I have worked with has been up-front and honest with me and open to constructive criticism. One of the reasons I keep an eye on this site, you guys ought to be compensated for the great advise you give in these posts. I have learned more today, than in a week of officiating. You guys are great!
