I have heard that line or statement for almost my entire career as well. I have never followed it and somehow I have done just fine. I do want to know how players get to the floor, but never call something just to make anyone happy. Most of the directives that I tend to get are usually surrounding codes of conduct of players or coaches and how the assignor will support you if you call a T. Almost never are we told to call a certain kind of foul stronger than the rules state or what is a POE. If you cannot officiate you will not get hired or stay hired in the first place. Guys around here tend to trust their staffs and your schedule reflects that trust.

Peace
