Words of Encouragement to All
INDY
Please do not become discouraged about the posts that have been made on this thread. I think it illustrates that we are all individuals who uniquely "interpret" and apply the rules and mechanics of the game. (Hopefully all within an acceptable parameter of fairness to the sport at the level we are calling.)
Again, I say lead by example! Do your best to be the best. That means showing up with an attitude of professionalism. The players deserve it.
In the two years that I have officiated, I have seen many "Ultra" egos (coaches and officials alike) that really detracted from the purpose of the event (game). Ultimately, (IMHO) the only "value" these types of people have is to demonstrate examples of what NOT to be.
As for "uniformity" in mechanics, I believe (especially at the colegiate level) it is idealistic, but not realistic.
Closing observation: You can only control what YOU do. Do the right thing and you can not go wrong.
