I made some bad calls and then I absolutely froze on two plays under the basket that were very very obvious fouls. For some reason I didn't blow my whistle and my partner made the call from across the floor to save me. I was really embarrassed but went through the game with as much confidence as possible. I talked to my partner about the situation and he just said it happens to everyone. My assignor showed for part of the game and said he liked what he saw but he didn't see my two freezes. He has assigned me a tough game for today and was just looking for a bit of advice. Thanks!
It's a new game. We have all been there where we didn't have our best game the previous night - you can learn from it but it's over.

You get the chance to get back on the saddle tonight and redeem yourself. Have a good pre-game and work hard.
