also, i don't thinki you needed to "rank" my idea. icallfouls didnt ask for us to dedice which ideas would be best. just to make suggestions. i want to learn correctable errors, okay?
I've maybe had 4-6 correctable error situations in my career of who knows how many games. Even if I got every one of them wrong, it wouldn't have dramatically impacted my career. (I've got two wrong that I know of).

However, there are far more times I could have better handled players/coaches, far more times I could have had a better position, far more times I could have held my whistle and passed on a call, far more times I could do things better that happen every single game.

Sure CE's a interesting academic topic, and I very much enjoy such topics. However, paying campers deserved to get a topic that will help them frequently rather than rarely.
