Hell, the coach (who is also the AD) called the assignor to tell him he thought I did a good job (I've only been here a year so he wasn't sure who I was) and that he was sorry he got a bit animated after the call. Overall it was a great game, and had that play happened in the 3rd quarter probably not even a thought about it, but because it was the final play of the game it stuck.

I also won't lie - the much more difficult and contentious girls game before it probably added to my over-analyzing of that one.
Imo you're doing exactly what you should be doing...trying to learn from a difficult situation that you ran into. And you'll find that's a never-ending process.....even for the so-called senior big dawgs. When you stop learning, you stop developing. The game is constantly changing and the officials have to change with it.

Just don't beat yourself up when you're learning. You've already got people standing in line ready to do that for you.

JMO.
