RookieDude,
It may be just you.
This game slows down as your experience grows.
Eventually, you will be confident the other eight players were just fine, while you glance at the play in your partners primary and you'll know:
  • The time on the clock,
  • The team with the arrow,
  • The score of the game,
  • The substitutes waiting to be admitted.

    Heck...when I really get good maybe I'll know:
  • The price of eggs and bacon in New York
  • The favorite watering hole of my Assignor
  • The birthday of my rich Aunt Thelma
  • The Coach's sister
    but, I still don't want to be a "ball watcher" that would actually consider changing a foul call in another official's primary. JMHO

    Edit: maybe I'll even get good enough to use these quote icons without messing it up....
