I'm a newer ref and started the year listening and watching a great many more experienced officials who helped me with my mechanics and counseled and mentored me on the many things I did wrong. Mostly mechanics and technique, but a few rules too. But, as several of you pointed out - I am open to suggestions and want to learn and get better.
Now, when I do Rec League games, I try to help the others too. But, "they" have to want to learn and get better. If they don't want to get better, nothing you try will work and they go on the "I won't ref with them list."
Hmm, I wonder why I never ref with the same guy twice?
