"Then, come back in three years and, provided you have three years of additional experience and not one year's additional experience three times, we'll discuss the subject again."

As the gentlmen have tried to tell you, at some point you will appreciate experience as much as you appreciate following the rules to the letter of the law. This holds true for all officiating. It is good that you are reading and following the rules, now go that extra step and learn intent and history of the game your officiating. I guarentee you, you will see things differently.

Many treat the rule books as contracts, or legal documents,
or cook books to play a game. They are guidelines. When the day comes that you can read in between the lines, then you will find that your just starting to become a good official.

GOOD LUCK
