As a newbie trying to move up (I'm in my third year in my local association) I got my first evaluation in three years recently for a 9th grade boys game. It didn't go so hot. My evaluator docked me because I would not wait for my partner to "relieve" me so I could report the foul. (i.e. If I was lead and called a foul, I'd have to stay there with my arm in the air until my partner got to my spot BEFORE, I could go and report the foul).

I've spoken with a few other officials and they just laughed at that.

Am I wrong to say this "rule" that I got docked for is a bad idea? I'm all for getting the game flowing. When I call a foul, I wait to make sure we're not going to see a fight, inform my partner what I got, and go report.

Thoughts?
