I would disagree... Rules knowledge is paramount to officiating. No assignor will send you out if you don't know the rules. Your assignor can defend questionable judgment on a play, but not incorrect application of rules. I would contend it gets MORE important the higher you move up as one rules mistake can end a career. I have seen this happen many times to colleagues.
The higher you move up game management is expected as well as dealing with coaches. These skills are often what seperates the great from the good.
