Stages of officiating, based on my experience and observations.
1. Afraid to blow the whistle.
2. Calls anything and everything.
3. Discovers advantage/disadvantage and swings back the other direction, letting too much go uncalled.
4. Balances out, continually refining the advantage/disadvantage meter.
#1 normally lasts only a game or so.
#2 and #3 vary in length based on training, awareness, and willingness to learn.
