Some good advice in this thread. Many old timers such as myself talk about hustle when training rookies but then fail to amplify what we mean by that. That can lead to the aforementioned "Headless Chicken" behaviour and also lead to "Happy Feet". Happy Feet is where an official feels he simply has to move somewhere, anywhere!

Rookies need to be taught to relax and let the play develop and then react to what play they read. Sometimes the correct reaction is to remain standing still.
