I wince every time a veteran official tells me that "I just go officiate. I don't need to be a 'rule book' referee". These are the same guys who refuse to enforce the rules as written. (Won't call a T for a pregame dunk, won't call a T for touching the ball OOB when in possession of the thrower, won't give DOG warnings, etc) I think this is usually a "path of least resistance" thing and they don't want to rock the boat and get coaches upset with them. Might hurt that rating.
