Instead of asking a coach
How about asking a veteran ref you respect observe you....
IN OTHER WORDS, FIND A MENTOR!!!
I remember starting out working the freshman/jv 2 game set and then sitting in the locker room for some of the "varsity pre-game" then going out and watching the 1st half of the varsity game.....
Then, with the OK of the two officials, bothering the varsity refs some more about certain things I saw in the 1st half.
Asking a coach will not get you good answers as directly, most won't give you the info you are looking for....trust me, as a Coordinator, i have a tough time getting it on the officials I send to them!
