I was really slow about it. Although I started doing college (NCAA DIII and NAIA) in my sixth year of officiating, I still used the wheel for all my HS matches in both Ohio and Michigan. It wasn't until I moved out here to California after reffing for 10 years, that I weaned myself from my wheel at the end of my second girls' season (so that would be at the end of my 12th year) when a National Official (who is also the Supervisor of Officials for the PAC-10) told me during a Play-off match to get rid of the wheel because I was slowing his game tempo down. After that, I started not using it until I got comfortable with looking at the line-ups and memorizing who was on the court.
