Nate, can you talk about how you helped this young official and made him better? Not to be rude but it seems like, just from this post, that you have spent most of your energy "crawling under the bleachers" and groaning at his mistakes rather than taking a deep breath and creating a teaching opportunity.

We young officials NEED HELP. We can't do it alone. We're gonna make mistakes and if you come after us with a red face and smoke comin' out of your ears, it's not gonna help. Put your arm around us, teach us. Don't just get frustrated with us.

Thanks.
