In your situation as a rookie. You will be calling Junior high games that will be a lot tougher to call then the varsity games you just worked. At the varsity level there is an expected level of consistancy in the officiating. There is a consistancy in the play of the players. At the Junior high level things can be different. For example. I had one night where traveling was not called all night. Was traveling there, you bet. But for the sake of consistancy we set the criteria at four steps before we called anything. This kept the flow of the game going and the coaches did not have a problem with it. If we had lived on that standard for a varsity game, we would have been booed to the other end of the state. The thing is you must communicate with your partners as to what is and what isn't exceptible tonight.
