rainmaker-
I'm sure I have less formal training and much lower levels of experience than you-- I was never formally trained, but reffed 5th-8th grade BBall for several years for my old school many years ago, and will probably try to ref "for real" when the kids get older. (I also reffed a lot of kids soccer starting when I was very young.) With that disclaimer, let me make a suggestion:
Don't think of yourlist as a "list," but as general guidelines to use to assist in exercising your judgment quickly. I'll bet if you posted your list, the clever minds here could come up with an exception to almost every entry on the list. At the same time, having thought of various scenarios -- and, hopefully, what might be exceptions to those scenarios -- I'd bet you'll be in a better position to make a quick decision exercising discretion when the time comes. But for the good of the game, I humbly submit, every T should be an exercise of considered discretion, not a mechanical application of a list of preconsidered thoughts.
