Thanks for the replies! Everyone makes good points to think about. I agree that it's kind of a game management type skill to consider. I would not look at the score book and I don't really think that's what the clinician was telling us. I guess the best way to stay out of trouble is call things consistantly and be sure about your calls. One of my personal points of emphasis going into camp and going into next season is to concentrate on being sure of what I call and laying off some of the ticky tack stuff. As a newer official I find myself blowing the whistle and then second guessing myself immediately. If I'm second guessing myself, coaches and Joe Blow parent are going to be on their third or fourth guess. Anyway, all camp did was get me excited about next season already. From some of the comments I heard I think I might get a few varsity games next season and after working varsity in the camp I can't wait! The better the players, the more fun it is to call.
