I learned that working a college scrimmage while a college student myself about 25 years ago.
I was warning a player on handchecking trying to avoid a foul and the coach pulled me aside and politely told me, "I want them doing that until the official shows us he'll actually call that." When I called it the next time, the coach was smiling.
Lesson learned....for an entire career.
