I do think this is an area, that could be explored and improved.

I do think there are many areas of the country that don't have good or any training for the younger officials. Without proper training officials get frustrated and disenchanted and end up giving it up. Or develope bad habits or wrong fundamentals.

I have had conversations with other refs about rules and ended up with different answers from each. Go back read the rules and understand how each could come up with their answer. Then try to find what is the correct answer and find no guidance, other than other officials opinions.

I've heard coaches tell me they can do this one week and not the next. I think more guidance, training, and knowlege resources would be very helpful.
