Wow, there's a lot in this post.
Why are most of your partners critiquing you?
How much experience do you have? When you ref lower level games, do you stay and watch the varsity level? I did for years.
I would sit and say " Why didn't they call that?", "Why did they call that?"
I learned and it helped me become a better official. I also want the more experienced officials to tell me what they think, if I missed anything and I can learn from that.
I am in my 13th year, we never stop learning and someone else has a different view of what happened on every play.
On one play with a junior partner, ( 2 man ) I clearly saw the defender lean into the air born shooter, he called a charge. I am not sure what he saw, but it was his call, not mine.
