Mainly he was missing and kicking calls. When he did make a call he would occasionally give the incorrect signal. Once or twice he would give two signals, i.e. a double dribble. He would give the travel signal then double dribble. He was trying so hard. I advised him to "swallow his whistle" and not get so "excited" when he saw a violation or foul. It was just very difficult for me to see those kicked calls and improper signals during the game. Coaches and players pick up on these things quickly. I felt if I started calling out of my primary then all hell would break loose with the coaches and players. I wanted the game to be called accurate and fairly, I just was unsure how to handle correctly and still keep control of the game.
