Since our season has started last Thursday I've worked 5 games in 3 days, all games were with well-respected veterans. 2 of those games I've seen a misaplication of fairly new rules. As I previously stated, 1 of those times it was my call & I was made to change it.

As a new official how should I handle situations that I know aren't right & not piss off my senior officials?
I too find this can get touchy. I usually wait until a TO, half-time, between games and discuss it like, "remember that play....I thought the rule stated....or what was your rational there?" If they're going on "gut" or give me some BS (possible), I will look it up later. I would rather know the rule and what to do next time.

But, I will also probably not bring it up again, unless I found just the right situation.

Of course, I have a lot to learn and am wrong sometimes too.
