I believe that BK47 is saying (and me adding to this from the perspective of a young basketball official) is that for someone without lots of experience, what one perceives as slow, is probably still fast. Eventually experience allows for one to understand proper timing, but the instinct when beginning officiating is wanting to make a call right away, when in reality, there is plenty of time to wait and decide what the correct call is.
