My assignor asked me to work a game with a new referee for his first game. 2 man, Freshman girls to be follow by Freshman boys. First 4 min. not a single whistle. We come together at time out, ask him to blow his whistle 4 times before in the next 4 min. He does JB and OOB. Between quarters I tell him to keep up on the JBs and OOB but he has to call at least 2 fouls by half. Each TO and Intermission we talk I give him pointers and encouragement. By the time the boys game starts I am no longer having to give him specific assignments as to "how many" time he needs to blow his whistle. It seemed that he needed some specific short term goals regarding the use of his whistle to get him "jump started".
