This point was confusing to me early on. I was being told to "do things by the book" while those who were offering the advice would do things comnpletely different themselves. With time, I developed my own "style" which I am comfortable with. Most of the top officials I see and work with all seem to pretty much make the same calls. What distinguishes those from the very top from others (in my neck of the woods) is court presence, game (coach) management and approachability.
