I see it as a personal choice.
For most of us, we don't really see ourselves as others see us. It takes a very experienced and mature individual to have a solid, realistic view of themselves and their own abilities. I constantly seek feedback from those I trust. (i.e. more experienced than I at the matter in which I seek advice.) I love the big games and big crowds and better competition. I have no problem making a call that may be perceived as controversial. Called third strike, fair/foul on the line, no catch/catch on a diving outfielder, balk with go ahead run on third-whatever. I have made them all and do not regret or re-play a one of these calls. I will ask my partner for help on a call if I did not see it. Ultimately, IF it is my call to make, I will make it based upon my own knowledge, positioning and judgment. The bigger the better I say for me personally. For some, they do not need to be in the big games. Experience is only one factor. Ability, attitude, disposition and demeanor are several others. My two cents.
