I think too many HS officials try to play "gotcha" with the rule book, too. Way too many travels called that aren't really travels. Way too many fouls called that aren't fouls. Way too many 3-second violations called.
It takes far more courage and skill and feel for the game to NOT blow the whistle than to blow it in many cases.
You can be GREAT at the science of officiating, and horrible at the art, IMO.
