Yup, and those officials are the guys with a U2 mentality. That clinician(who was also the D1 league assignor iirc) imo is kinda telling you in #14 that he can find U2's anywhere, but if you want to get hired, you should have the mentality of an R. You're willing to take care of bidness and make the tough call without having to hold a vote on it first.

Imo, just make the damn call. If one of your partners wants to share something with you, he can still come to you.....after.

I think that clinician wants officials who officiate with confidence and believe in their own ability. Fwiw I agree with him.
