1) Good communicator. Pre-game, during, post game. We know where each other is at, we are working on being consistent, we can be honest and direct in our interactions.
2) Positioning confidence. They know where they are supposed to be, they know what we're each responsible for looking at. Calls are made or trusted to be made by the person who is responsible. They can get to and be responsible for the calls in their areas.
3) Calls a game within their limits. Show the rules knowledge you have and confidence you have in the way you officiate. If there is an area of weakness or you are in an overwhelming situation do not try to do to much or officiate with something to prove. Much like the players let the game come to you and focus on your strengths in the big moments.
