I just turned 23 and I'm finishing up my fifth season. Some coaches get on me a little more than my partners, but I get the feeling that coaches in my area have officials they prefer to others based not on age but on call selection.

One of my favourite partners has been around for fifteenish years and is the best non-college official we have, and he gets WAY more flack from veteran coaches than I do. They say things like, "We've NEVER had a good game from you!"

My first thought was that both coach and my partner have been around so long that the coach knows he can work the guy. But I also wondered why they don't ever say anything to me.
