I agree w/ rut, I believe there are 4 stages to officiating:
1) you call nothing
2) you call everything
3) you learn to make a no-call
4) you are a great official!!

trust yourself, if it is "t worthy" hammer them, but if it isn't don't. always try to talk things out first. as you become more expierenced, you will hopefully learn how to "calm the fire" in a coach, and use preventive officiating to solve problems you may have on the court, it doens't always work, but you would be suprised at how much it does. NEVER threaten (that only leads to problems because if you don't carry through w/ it, you're in big trouble!).

remember that as officials, we are to fade into the background, do not come off as arrogent (some might percieve the reason you call t's is to draw attention to yourself).

you'll get it, have a little faith, and keep working hard!! talk to someone who you work w/ and see what they think, ask them if they honestly think it is you being a "bad referee", which I doubt, or some other reason that can most likely be cleared up. before every game, i ask my partner what he wants to work on during the game, and afterwords, he asks how he did, and vise versa, this works great!! and finally, be patient, make sure you construct a firm foundation before you move up, hustle, and always give it your all, no matter what level of play, your talent will be noticed. Good Luck!!
