I hung up my whistle 3 years ago. This year I was asked by our local association to come back and evaluate officials for which I would be compensated. I go out 2-3 nights a week to do both a JV and V game, so I get 6 evaluations in.

I have no horse in the race so I pretty much tell the officials what I see. I always find some positive in someone's game and let them know. I try to offer suggestions on positioning, rotations/switches, coverage area, reporting techniques, etc. If I have a question on judgment I usually ask the official what happend on that play. If a certain rule has blatantly been misapplied I will let the official know and suggest he/she review it.

Most of the officials are trying to move up the ladder and I want to be able to offer help on how to do that. The information I share with the official also goes to our Assigner & Board of Directors.
