I'm in my third year and still appreciate a good senior official who is encouraging and not condescending. A couple weeks ago was involved in a 3-man subvarsity doubleheader with a senior official on the R. His manner was calm, decisive and encouraging to us less-experienced guys. He admitted when he blew a call and when we screwed up, he didn't chew us a new one, just calmly stated what it was and how we can do it better. I have great respect for him. There's been others, such as JV officials watching us freshman officials that totally lacked any tact when offering their "criticism". Being human, all I remember is their attitude rather than their advice.
