[QUOTE=dan74]I'm thinking too much out there. I sometimes allow a bit more contact then maybe I should and then a split second later kick myself for not blowing the whistle.
I also let too much go in my first year and a half or so. ALL the coaches unhappy,even the winning ones, and a majority of my games went sideways. Kids tackling, shoving etc. A vetearn ref and someone I thought did a great job cornered me at half-time one game and said " Blow everything, they breathe on them tweet. " I was not having fun and tried that and forgot about Adv/Dis. It took about 15 games or so and lo and behold I could now start learning about Adv/Dis.
I was also a football player in school so if the kid could get up after another one of my no calls I felt okay with my no call of letting them play. Am I still learning about Adv/Dis , of course I am but I am not lerning in the middle of a riot. Out of 60 or so games this year only have had 1 go sideways - I didn't stop the rough play on the ball handler. I am having alot more fun. FWIW I regularly get the losing coach come up and thank me for a nicely called game. IMO I needed to do that couple of weeks of blowing everything then I was able to start learning Adv/Dis.....
