I love my wheel, it is a quick referral to make you keep from looking stupid. There are folks out there that can do a good job of keeping the lineups in their head, but with all the subbing some teams do I am not that capable. I like the wheel it allows a quick glance to make sure i got backrow in my head while the action is going on, with the wheel I dont' have to mark each time a server is done, just turn the wheel. Only time i write is when a sub comes in and I am done prior to them getting into position. Do I appear to be a lesser official cause I have a wheel, maybe to some, but to me I am a much better official during the match because I do use it so for me I am going to continue to use it. Maybe it is a crutch, but it lets me concentrate on the game action and not have to worry about lineups, and I have another verification if there is a question about something.
