I don't generally beat myself up when a coach gives me grief (politely) about missing a travel, but when they start giving my P grief about calling the travels along the baseline when I'm not...then I get upset. If my partner's catching hell because he's being watchful and I'm not, then I get frustrated 'cause I sure owe him a better game then what I've been calling.

Don't quite understand this. If your partner is calling it, and you aren't, I believe you would be the one catching all the heat.

It's called experienced and you can't teach it nor find it in a rulebook. You can only get it by working and talking with other senior officials. Attend the camps and absorb as much as you can while there.
