Sh!t, I'm a pretty decent official who works an all Varsity HS schedule and a few JuCo games and
I still make a couple calls a year that make
me want to crawl under the bleachers. We all blow calls. It's the ability to recognize your mistakes on your own and then learn from them that leads you to being a better official and separate you from the pack.
As a young official, your partner may not have known he missed a called. First chance you get you ask him what he saw on the play. After replaying the play in his mind he might say "You know what, I think B1 probably did trip A1. I probably should have had a whistle on that play." More than likely that's a play he'll never miss a again.
