It's rare that FR/JV guys want feedback here. Many have no aspiration to move up (especially in the rural towns where they are hired because they are (1) licensed and (2) local).
So when I worked a varsity game after another varsity game on Wednesday and the crew (3-person) stayed to watch our game (which, for some reason, was worked 2-person), I was more than open to some feedback.
Matter of fact, I was just out of the shower when one of the officials walked in and said, "Ready for your critique?" to which I said, "Sure, anything you have." He was just kidding, apparently. I wasn't.
I'm going to go to 2-3 camps this summer and see if I'm good enough to be noticed by a college assignor or two. If not, I'll hopefully learn something I can take back to the high school court next year. I also was a clinician at my first clinic this year and learned as much as when I was a camper and felt I made a difference in other people's work. It's been a pretty good year.
