BigWhistle,
In our association, we try to work on mechanics first. The reasoning behind it is this: If you aren't in the right spot to make the call, no matter how good or bad it is, the coach can/will always question it. Even if the newbie knows how to call a pretty good game without the proper position they can/will always be questioned. The ones that don't know how to call a game, can either be taught when it is easier ie when they know where to be, or they will never learn anyway.... so in short we say that mechanics is the which comes first...
