Don't beat yourself up.
Back when I served on our local board's floor training committee, we had a highly ranked, veteran, trainer who told the rookies that it was a violation for a player, on the lane line, to put an arm through the plane of the lane line marks. It took everything in my power to convince him that he was wrong. He didn't go down easy, he went down kicking, and screaming, but I eventually convinced him that he was wrong.
Sometimes officials just develop these mental blocks. After all, there are a lot of rules, and some of them keep changing all the time.
Now? Where are my car keys?
