After the usual stuff that is gone through, and we all go through the rules and taking care of coaches...I don't think we as officials talk nearly enough about basic philosophies not necessarily of the game but of officiating.
What makes a great official. What qualities do they all share?
What constitutes a foul...not by rule, but by pragmatic application. When is a hold not a hold? Why is the hold that everyone sees at the other end of the line never cold...and why is the little hook that creates an advantage always called?
Just a couple of thoughts. Hope it helps.
