Me too!
It's difficult to watch a game and not "be the referee" anymore. I can't enjoy the action on the floor! It is also difficult to enjoy a college TV game, too.
Before I got into the business heavily, I always complained about what officials were or weren't calling. Now, I just note those things in my head and try to learn how I could make a different call...how I could be in better position so that I don't make the wrong call.
Now, when I watch games on TV, I make fun of the pathetic mechanics I see on both the college and pro levels. I work EXTREMELY hard at being mechanically sound. Therefore, when I see poor mechanics on display by guys making SEVERAL hundreds more than me...well, I can't help but laugh. There are mechanically sound officials at all levels, however, there seems to be several more that need a lot of help. Guess they don't care about their mechanics...because if they did, they wouldn't look as bad as they do!
