Newer officials are going to struggle with this, there's no skipping that part of the development.
First stage: Freeze and forget to blow your whistle.
Second stage: Call everything you see, all contact is a foul.
Third stage: Discover advantage/disadvantage, but let way too many fouls go uncalled.
Fourth stage: Start to develop an equilibrium on what you call.
The time spent in each stage varies, but I think they're almost universal.
