A whole bunch of very experienced officials have given you some very good advice....advice that you have chosen to ignore.
Soooooo.....good luck. Have a good career.

My previous post was to clarify my initial post, not to throw down a gauntlet and say "I have my mind made up". I was trying to clarify my position going into this thread.
I haven't chosen to ignore ANYTHING! I'm looking for feedback and there has been a whole gamut of responses. My assumption is that all are very good officials.
As to whether a first year can know advantage/disadvantage... I'll bet you its a scenario where if you had 5 refs... one who was a 20 year vet, one who was a 10 year vet, one who was 5, and one who was 3 year and one who was 1 year...
You could go down the line...
3 year, "I know now that I didn't know sh!t about A/D when I was a 1 year"
5 year, "Oh yeah? I know now that I didn't know sh!t about A/D when I was a 3 year"
10 year, "Oh yeah? I know now that I didn't know sh!t about A/D when I was 5 year"
20 year, "Oh yeah? I know now that I didn't know sh!t about A/D when I was 10 year"
so, I may have no clue (and I will be the first to admit that to you), but I have to do my best to judge that in real time on the court.
Word.
