[OHBBREF]

Tis the season when we are all thinking of our New Years Resolutions, (mine is not to pick a fight with more people than I have bullets in my clip), and we have had about a month or so of the season to see what we want to work on for the rest of the the year, and in the future.

So lets post some things that we can work on to be better officials in the future, and maybe get some helpful (possibly serious) suggestions for improvment from others.

My big thing thus far is being more of an R (CC) even when I am not assigned as such. Practice the mentality, the managment skills, the game managment, and provide a real leadership role where it is needed. I have had three games early this year where I think that situations might have been better handled - through Communication or crew information, and/or better leadership on the floor.

This can be delicate but it is important in moving up as Assignors are highering "R's" (CC's) not just officials.
