Get used to it. That is, get used to having additional information given to you (or by you) on OOB plays (depending on the specific location of the play and the officials). It happens several times a season to all of us. You shouldn't feel like an idiot on this.

I mean this with all respect, but given your posts here (on the rules and mechanics), I'm not sure you are as good as you think you are. Having a healthy ego is fine, and needed to be a good official. Having an over-inflated ego is not. And, given your attitude toward "politics", it might be best for you if you did step away for a while.

Nothing good can come of this, and the fact that you even thought about it for more than a nano-second means that you care too much what the coaches think ("feel") about you and are in this to "please the coaches." Until you are in it only to do the best job you can *for the game* and let the coaches think / feel what they want you will not advance. It's a paradox -- you can't make the coaches happy until you don't care if they are happy.
